Trump Withdraws Surgeon General Nominee Amid Controversy | JQJO

President Trump withdrew his nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General following questions about her medical education and criticism from Laura Loomer. Nesheiwat's claim of a University of Arkansas medical degree was disputed; she actually graduated from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. Trump cited these concerns in a social media post and nominated Dr. Casey Means as a replacement. Nesheiwat will now work at the Department of Health and Human Services. This follows other recent staff changes, including the removal of Mike Waltz (Nesheiwat's brother-in-law) as National Security Advisor.
