A Pentagon watchdog has issued a report finding 'severe and systemic' problems at the White House Medical Unit during the Trump administration, with issues dating back to the Obama era. The report, detailed in a perspective by Joe Davidson, indicates that the clinic, run by now-Congressman Ronny Jackson, improperly distributed narcotics and other drugs on the tax payer dime. The facility, staffed by 60 medical personnel and responsible for treating the president, vice president, and White House staff, also provided health care to ineligible staffers before the Biden administration. The issues with pharmacy operations and internal controls on medication raised concerns about the illicit use of narcotics and shoddy practices that would not be acceptable in other settings.
“It’s sort of head-scratching that you have the highest level of government conducting business in that manner that would never be acceptable anywhere else.” The White House has a pharmacy — and it was a mess. https://t.co/naDv2tvZgJ
