Abstract:

The President nominated Rear Admiral (Lower Half) (RDML) Ronny Lynn Jackson, M.D., to serve as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on April 16, 2018. The Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs subsequently interviewed 23 current and former colleagues of RDML Jackson, who raised serious concerns about [RDML] Jacksons temperament and ethics and cast doubt on his ability to lead the second largest agency in government. The Ranking Member of that Committee, Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), released a two-page summary on April 25, 2018, with the concerns grouped into three categories: Prescribing Practices, Hostile Work Environment, and Drunken[n]ess. The Senate Armed Services Committee asked the DoD Office of Inspector General(OIG) to investigate the allegations against RDML Jackson on April 26, 2018.1
