Former Trump Official and New Congressman Would Drink, Take Ambien and Make Sexual Advances on the Job: Report

While working at the Pentagon, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson drank, took Ambien and made sexual advances on staff while on the job, the inspector general reported Tuesday, according to CNN.

Jackson, who has now been elected Republican Congressman for Texas, has been under scrutiny after being classified as a “candy man” for “handing out pills” to White House staff, Vanity Fair reported in 2019.

“The results of the report, which CNN received ahead of its expected release on Wednesday, came from a year-long IG investigation into Jackson, who currently represents Texas in the House of Representatives, launched in 2018 and investigating allegations that date comes from his time during Obama – and the Trump administration, “said CNN.

Jackson told CNN that the report was “politically motivated” in a statement. He also said the Inspector General “resuscitated” previous allegations against him for refusing to “turn his back on President (Donald) Trump”.

Jackson also told CNN that he “denies any allegations that I have consumed alcohol while on duty”.

The Inspector General interviewed 78 people in the Pentagon about the report.

His explosive temper and reports that he created a hostile work environment were a threat from the report, CNN said.

They were cited by an “overwhelming majority of Witnesses (56) … who worked with RDML Jackson from 2012-2018. You have personally seen, seen or heard us screaming, yelling, cursing or disparaging subordinates, ”the report says.
