(Credit: REUTERS/Joshua Roberts)U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Amarillo, has ratcheted up his rejection of allegations of misconduct during his time as the top White House physician. The report, which presents the findings of an investigation by the inspector general for the U.S. Department of Defense, was officially released on Wednesday. The report examines claims that Jackson disparaged employees, engaged in “alcohol-related misconduct” and made sexual comments about a female employee under his supervision. “You could smell the alcohol on his breath, and he leaned into my room and he said, “I need you.” I felt really uncomfortable,” the woman told the inspector general.

The Department of Defense inspector general has released a scathing report on the conduct of Ronny Jackson, now a congressman from Texas, when he worked as a top White House physician. AdAfter interviewing 78 witnesses and reviewing a host of White House documents, investigators concluded that Jackson, who achieved the rank of rear admiral, failed to treat his subordinates with dignity and respect. After allegations emerged that Jackson had created a hostile work environment and improperly distributed prescription drugs, the White House withdrew the nomination. Jackson was well liked by most members of the Obama and Trump staffs and grew close to both presidents.

The president said that collection of nouns, or ones like them, was part of a cognitive test he had aced while declaring that his likely Democratic opponent, 77-year-old Joe Biden, could not do the same. In a battle of septuagenarians, the Trump campaign has long tried to paint Biden as having lost some of his mental sharpness. And about a month ago, he began telling aides that a cognitive test he took as part of his physical in 2018 could be something he could weaponize against Biden. I think hes thinking of it like some sort of IQ test or SAT test, something along those lines. Donald Trump is spectacularly failing every conceivable strategic test by ramping up mentions of this subject at all, said spokesperson Andrew Bates.

Ronny Jackson was endorsed by President Donald Trump in his bid for Texas' 13th Congressional District. REUTERS/Joshua RobertsRonny Jackson, the former White House physician and President Donald Trump's onetime nominee for secretary of veterans affairs, has won his bid for the Republican nomination for a solidly red congressional seat in the Texas Panhandle. Jackson and Winegarner were competing for a seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, who is retiring and held the seat since 1995. With just under half of polling locations reporting, Sessions held an eight percentage point lead. Sessions previously represented the Dallas-based 32nd Congressional District since 1996, but lost reelection in 2018 to current U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, a Democrat.

AUSTIN, Texas President Donald Trumps former White House physician and onetime pick to head the Department of Veterans Affairs won the Republican nomination for a U.S. House seat in Texas in an election that unfolded amid an alarming spread of the coronavirus. Ronny Jackson, a retired Navy rear admiral, defeated agriculture advocate Josh Winegarner in a primary runoff Tuesday in the deeply red Texas Panhandle. Jackson will face Gus Trujillo, who won Tuesday's Democratic nomination for the 13th congressional district in Texas, in the November general election. He returned to the White House medical office, retired from the Navy in 2019 and launched his bid for Congress. He earned a marine biology degree from Texas A&M before graduating from the University of Texas Medical Branch in 1995.

Texas has become one of the world's virus hot zones and is in far worse shape now than when the runoff was postponed in March. Last week was the deadliest of the pandemic for Texas, and Republican Gov. Abbott did not include polling places in his recent statewide mask order, and unlike many states, Texas has fought efforts to expand mail-in balloting during the pandemic. The Senate runoff is between Air Force veteran MJ Hegar, who narrowly lost a race for a House seat in 2018, and state Sen. Royce West, who if he wins would become Texas' first Black U.S. senator. For now, both remain underdogs against Cornyn, a three-term Senate veteran who has a hefty stockpile of campaign dollars.

Former White House doctor Ronny Jackson, left, and Tony Gonzales both received a push from President Donald Trump at a tele-town hall Monday evening. Less than an hour before Trump did the call with Gonzales, Cruz appeared on a tele-town hall with Reyes. "She is well-equipped to defeat either of them in a district President Trump lost and will lose again," said the spokesperson, Sharon Yang. He's loyal, he's brave, he's a leader, and he'll never let the people of Texas down." In the robocall for Gonzales, Trump tells voters that "Tony will work for you in Congress, and by working for you, he's working for me."

The 13th District is rated as the most Republican congressional district in the country, giving Trump 80% of its vote in 2016. The president has a 93% approval rating among GOP primary voters in the district, according to Jackson campaign polling. While he also touts strong support for the president, Winegarner has been more intent on portraying Jackson as a political opportunist who does not know the Panhandle. My opponent talks about how familiar he is with President Trump, but is he familiar with us? Winegarner asked at the debate. The groups runoff backing has already translated into over a quarter-million dollars of spending in support of Jackson.
