A Pentagon report has revealed that the White House pharmacy during the Trump administration, led by physician Ronny Jackson, improperly distributed controlled substances and misused funds. The investigation by the Pentagon's internal watchdog was prompted by complaints and has led to criticism of the White House Medical Unit's practices. The report details that over 8,600 pills were prescribed from January to September 2019, including 40 morphine pills for pain relief, 34 fentanyl pills for pain management, 50 hydrocodone pills for pain, cough, and Covid treatment, and 3,100 Ambien pills for insomnia treatment. The distribution of heavy-duty drugs such as ketamine and fentanyl has raised questions about the lack of oversight and transparency in the White House clinic's handling of medications.

Watching Junior’s podcast makes me want to look up some of those drugs the Trump WH was passing out like skittles. https://t.co/5dAsE9sAed
All these former Trump staffers working in media and media-adjacent and nobody knows anything about all the pills floating around the Trump WH?
We really got to get to the bottom of this with names. I get med records are confidential, but there is a lot else you can find out about why the Trump WH was dispensing prodigious amounts of heavy duty drugs. It was the biggest pill mill in DC. https://t.co/zsN8x5Ktxd

You would expect Democrats to give Trump low grades. But those who worked most closely with him in the White House, and particularly national security, gave him very harsh reviews. https://t.co/VnX3xjGYTi
The Trump WH didn’t have “all the best people,” but they had all the best drugs.
I want to know who was getting Ketamine at the White House.
Why the heck was Trump’s team getting fentanyl ? Ambien and Modafinal I understand but holy moly… fentanyl ? Ketamine ? https://t.co/JOzCFOgOuW
A free hand with provigil and ambien is accepted White House practice for managing travel and jet lag (whether a doctor would approve I can’t say) but why was Trump’s medical staff handing out ketamine and fentanyl? https://t.co/L8TG2ykBLw
