Jackson withdrew from consideration to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs in light of similar allegations last year.Former Navy Secretary Richard Spencer approved Jackson's retirement before his ouster, according to a senior DOD official. Jackson did not respond to a request for comment. Typically military officials under inspector general investigation are not allowed to retire until the probe is completed.
Two other officials tell CNN that it has been difficult to conduct the investigation because all requests for interviews or information have had to go through the White House.Trump re-nominated Jackson to receive a second star -- a bump in his military rank -- in February, though that promotion was not approved by the Senate.

colbymommy Yeah but he examined the Turd in Chief and said he had great genes. Rumor was he and KellyAnne were snorting crushed opioids off each others’ private parts shortly before the examination.
U would have to be on drugs and intoxicated to say a 70 something man that eats fast food everyday is healthy
leesgirl9 Uh oh.
He should date Nancy
ETTD
Classic
He was certainly high when he reported on trump's physical condition.
LOL
Twisted news
Another one bites the dust
Only the best are good enough for realDonaldTrump
Obama's physician too.
Kiss ass might live to be 200!
jteeDC He’s running
Oh no! Not that! Because the beltway, congress, the bureaucracy, isn’t full of drunks and druggies as it is, right?
Ratings.....
Now the reports on trump's health make sense.
He’d have to be on drugs to think Trump weighed 239 lbs.
So much corruption and craziness
That is so on brand with the shit show in the White House.
He should have had his licence evoked when he claimed that Trump so healthy that with a diet change he'd live until he was 200. It was a ridiculous exaggeration that had to be dictated by Trump himself. It could have been a plausible number. They got greedy.
Only the best!!!
All the kings horses and all the kings men ... Hypocrites and liars !
Don’t surprise me at all trump hires the worst people....we keep expecting good things from trump...trump has no integrity or morals. We hired a bankruptcy New York con man.
Trump sniffs out dodgy people so that they deflect his own corruptability.
SpiroAgnewGhost He was certainly drunk or high when he listed Trump's weight. I can't remember the number but it was one pound under what is considered by the AMA to be obese.
It’s the same behavior with Ukraine, “you do what I say your golden” 🙄 he’s over weight has plaque in his heart and doesn’t even live with his wife.
All the president's men...
This movie is gonna be soooo long. Can it be done as a dark comedy?
Fake news network at again trying to destroy lives!!
So... Who’s doing the “Phase II” physical? (I suspect a neurologist).
Oh my god, is anyone in Trump’s orbit not corrupt?
Did you forget this part? “Jackson was appointed to the role of Physician to the President on July 25, 2013, by Barack Obama and was retained by Donald Trump after his inauguration in January 2017.”
I see. Your headline is for your regular readers who just read the headline. However, the rest of U.S. have read the story. 'allegedly' and 'alligations' do not mean a thing. I also like how the links in your 'stories' connect to your own stories. CNN quoting CNN is not proof
If he retires does that mean Trumps Adderall refills will be no longer
He had to be intoxicated to say such a crazy, off-the-cuff lie that Trump is the healthiest president & could live 200 yrs or some crazy, rediculous nonsense. Obviously that was directed from Trump, but come on man!
Intoxicated? Like when he was weighing realDonaldTrump ?
Weird
It takes a long time to get rid of all the rats
