Veterans Affairs Nomination in Doubt over Alleged "Improper Conduct"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Members of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee are in talks to delay
Wednesday's planned confirmation hearings for Dr. Ronny Jackson to
become veterans affairs secretary, amid reports of unspecified
allegations of "improper conduct" during parts of his career. Jackson is
currently serving as President Trump's personal White House physician.
He has no leadership experience heading a vast government bureaucracy
like the VA.
