By Jordan Fabian - 04/30/18 10:17 AM EDT
The White House on Monday pushed back on reports that Dr. Ronny Jackson, the failed Veterans Affairs nominee, is no longer President Trump’s personal physician.
White House spokesman Raj Shah said in a statement that Jackson, a Navy rear admiral, is “currently on active duty†and is still “assigned to the White House.â€
“Despite published reports, there are no personnel announcements at this time,†Shah said.
The statement does not deny outright that Jackson’s role has changed on the White House medical team.
Politico and The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Jackson will not return to his previous role as physician to the president.
