VA Secretary Shulkin to resign, Trump to nominate his personal physician
Actually the WH physicianVeterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin will resign soon, President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, adding that he will nominate his personal physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, to succeed him. White House officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Shulkin had become a distraction due to a constant wave of speculation about his future. They said an undersecretary at the Department of Defense, Robert Wilkie, will be the acting secretary. Jackson, a rear admiral of the US Navy, has been working as a presidential physician since the George W. Bush administration, and has monitored Trump's health since Trump became president.
