NEW YORK (AP) — The Defense Department inspector general has released a scathing report on the conduct of Ronny Jackson, now a congressman from Texas, when he worked as a top White House physician. The internal investigation concluded that Jackson made “sexual and denigrating” comments about a female subordinate, violated the policy on drinking alcohol on a presidential trip and took prescription-strength sleeping medication that prompted worries about his ability to provide proper medical care. Jackson denies the allegations. Investigators interviewed 78 witnesses and reviewed a host of White House documents. They found inappropriate behavior on at least two international presidential trips and said he failed to treat his subordinates with dignity and respect.
