Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, was demoted by the Navy from rear admiral to retired captain.
This followed a 2021 inspector general report that found he belittled and bullied staff and engaged in inappropriate behavior including alcohol misconduct and sexual statements.
Though demoted, Jackson continues to refer to himself as a retired rear admiral, which is inappropriate according to experts.
He served as physician to Presidents Obama and Trump and maintains a close relationship with Trump, vocally defending his mental fitness.
“While it is possible that others will mistakenly refer to him as ‘Admiral’ in perpetuity, he himself should not make that mistake,” said Katherine L. Kuzminski, a military policy expert at the Center for a New American Security.
The demotion means Jackson will lose over $15,000 in annual pension payments.
