Investigators interviewed 78 witnesses and reviewed White House documents to reach the conclusion that Jackson, R-Texas, failed to treat his subordinates on the White House Medical Unit staff with dignity and respect, the report said.

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon’s watchdog agency has found that Ronny Jackson – the freshman Texas congressman and retired admiral who served as the top physician to the last two presidents – sexually harassed a subordinate, routinely harangued underlings and, while on overseas trips, violated a ban on drinking and took sleeping pills that would have impaired his ability to treat the commander in chief in an emergency.
Jackson vehemently denied the allegations detailed in the 37-page report released Wednesday, many of which surfaced when President Donald Trump picked him to run the Veterans Administration in spring 2018, calling them “false and recycled.”
