Ronny Jackson Demoted to Navy Captain Following Misconduct Probe

The former White House physician and current Texas congressman was demoted from rear admiral after a Pentagon investigation into his behavior.

Ronny Jackson, who served as a physician under Presidents Trump and Obama, was demoted by the Navy in 2022 due to misconduct during his White House tenure.
The Pentagon's inspector general report in 2021 found Jackson had mistreated colleagues, made inappropriate comments, and used alcohol and Ambien while on duty.
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 financial implications and a social stigma, reducing Jackson's pension from that of a retired rear admiral.
Jackson has dismissed the allegations as a 'political hit job' and claims the investigation was motivated by his political affiliations.
