Ronny Jackson Demoted Following Pentagon Probe

The former White House physician faces repercussions for misconduct, despite contesting the demotion's legitimacy.

Rep. Ronny Jackson, previously a White House physician, was demoted from Navy rear admiral to captain after a Pentagon inspector general's investigation.
The investigation found Jackson engaged in inappropriate conduct, including making sexual remarks to subordinates and misusing alcohol and prescription drugs.
Despite the demotion, Jackson continues to refer to himself as a retired rear admiral on his congressional website and in public statements.
The demotion carries significant financial implications, with an estimated $15,000 difference in annual pension payouts between the two ranks.
Jackson's demotion has been criticized as politically motivated by him, but it has raised concerns about the standards of leadership and integrity in the Navy.
