Dr. Mehmet Oz, nominated by President Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is facing scrutiny over allegations that he underpaid Social Security and Medicare taxes in recent years.

In response, a spokesperson for Oz stated that the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) conducted a thorough review of his finances, confirming that any potential conflicts have been resolved and that he is in compliance with the law. This confirmation comes as Oz prepares for his confirmation hearing scheduled for tomorrow.
