The Hill reports:
The House Ethics Committee on Thursday said it is reviewing allegations that Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) may have violated ethics rules. The committee’s chairman, Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), and top Republican, Rep. Jackie Walorski (Ind.), said in a statement that the panel has extended its review of Jackson after receiving a referral from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), an independent watchdog, in late December.
Jackson’s office also accused the OCE, which investigates allegations of misconduct by members of both parties, of being a “partisan” and “liberal” group. Trump nominated Jackson to serve as Secretary of Veterans Affairs in 2018. But Jackson ultimately withdrew from consideration after allegations of misconduct emerged, including accusations he drank on the job, sexually harassed a female subordinate and casually dispensed prescription drugs.
Read the full article. The Ethics Committee hasn’t yet disclosed the nature of the probe. Guess away.

Hey Ronny, I didn’t know you were a liar when you sat next to me in the spare limousine, but i could tell you were often hung over on foreign trips. I have photos in the archive to prove it (since we preserved all Presidential records). @RonnyJacksonTX pic.twitter.com/VmnRRwXEeS
