Ronny Jackson won't return to his role as White House physician after he withdrew himself from consideration to be the next Veterans Affairs secretary, according to a report.
Sean Conley, the Naval officer who replaced Jackson as President Trump's personal doctor, will continue to treat Trump, per Politico .
Jackson, himself a rear admiral, withdrew his VA secretary nomination after unverified reports were made to the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee concerning his behavior in previous management positions.
Unsubstantiated complaints made included working drunk on the job and over-prescribing pain medication .
Trump and the White House have continued to defend Jackson in the wake of the allegations.
On Saturday, Trump called for Sen. John Tester, D-Mont., the ranking member on the panel who spoke publicly about the accusations, to resign .
