Trump taps Ronny Jackson for promotion amid investigation into allegations of misconduct
Rear Admiral Dr. Ronny Jackson.
Trump has recommended his former White House physician, Admiral Dr. Ronny Jackson, for promotion to a two-star. Jackson is under a Navy investigation regarding numerous allegations that surfaced after Trump nominated Jackson for the Cabinet position of Secretary of Veteran's Affairs. It seems Dr. Jackson is still assigned to the White House, but is not Trumps military physician. Jackson is currently paid $140,000 annually for doing … I'm not sure exactly what. Promotion to a two-star would give Jackson a raise to $176,000 per year.

President Trump has re-nominated White House doctor Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson to be promoted to two-star admiral amid the Pentagon’s ongoing investigation into Jackson regarding alleged misconduct. The White House sent a letter to the Senate on Jan. 15 offering Jackson’s promotion for consideration, The Washington Post reported Saturday. The letter came amid an ongoing investigation opened by the Pentagon's top watchdog, the Defense Department's Office of Inspector General, into allegations that surfaced after Trump nominated Jackson to become Veterans Affairs secretary. Jackson faces a series of allegations including drinking on the job, overprescribing medications and creating a hostile work environment. Bruce Anderson, a spokesman for the Office of Inspector General, confirmed to the Post that the investigation is still ongoing.
