US House of Representatives from the Republican Party Ronnie Jackson drank alcohol and took sleeping pills in the workplace, and also made rude and offensive antics against colleagues when he was the chief physician of the White House. Axios reports these accusations against him.
The violations by Jackson are reported in the report of the special inspector of the Pentagon. Examining Jackson’s tenure in this position – he held it during the presidency of Donald Trump and Barack Obama – the inspector spoke with 78 witnesses.
According to information from sources and from official documents, Jackson was known to be a man prone to yelling at subordinates, calling names and humiliating them. During the presidential visits he attended, he drank and took sleeping pills for long flights in violation of work protocol.
Jackson himself denies all charges. He believes that he became a victim of a “political order” because he refused, along with many other Republicans, to oppose Donald Trump. On January 14, the US House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump. Along with the Democrats, members of the Republican Party also spoke out in favor of dethroning the president. Senate, upper house of the US Congress acquitted Trump.
