"prompted by complaints the Department of Defense received in 2018 about a senior military medical officer, who is not named, engaging in “improper medical practices.” It covers only activity in the office through early 2020 under the Trump administration, but investigators interviewed staffers who also worked there under former President Obama.

The OIG report does not mention Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, the White House Medical Unit director from 2010 to 2014 and the president’s physician from 2013 through 2018.
