Dr. Ronny Jackson will not return to his role as White House physician, after he withdrew from consideration as veterans affairs secretary amid a scandal over misconduct claims, including drinking on the job, routinely handing out prescription drugs to West Wing staff, creating a “hostile work environment” for his colleagues, and once drunkenly banging on the hotel room door of a female employee during an overseas work trip in 2015, until the Secret Service intervened. Navy officer Sean Conley has taken over the role as White House physician.
