Members of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee have reportedly been informed about unspecified allegations against Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, President Trump's pick to the lead the VA, posing a new roadblock for the nomination.

The Washington Post reported Monday evening that the Senate panel is delaying a confirmation hearing for Jackson previously scheduled for Wednesday as members look into the new claims.

Two sources told CNN that Republicans and Democrats on the committee have been informed of allegations of improper conduct at more than one stage in the career of Jackson, who currently serves as White House physician.
