BOLDUAN: Dr. Ronny Jackson is back. You'll recall he resigned from being the president's White House physician and withdrew his nomination to be secretary of the V.A. over allegations of misconduct. Despite that, the president has put him up for a promotion and is bringing him back to the White House. CNN's Barbara Starr has the latest from the Pentagon. She's joining me now. Barbara, what's going on here?</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: You're right, Kate, in that Admiral Jackson withdrew his nomination from being V.A. secretary when these allegations came out. None of them have been proven. The inspector general at the Pentagon, still after all these months, still investigating the entire situation. The allegations revolved around Admiral Jackson allegedly engaging in abusive behavior, treating dispensing drugs lightly, not taking all the regulations and precautions into account, and even allegations of intoxication. Again, allegation the I.G. investigating after nearly a year because they are unable to come to any conclusions. They're still interviewing people about all of this. So in the meantime, President Trump has now put Admiral Jackson up for, once again, a second star. No Navy promotion board. The president just nominating him for that on his own. It does not look like Congress will take up that promotion, which it has to approve through the Senate, before the I.G. investigation is completed. And bringing Admiral Jackson back to be his personal physician at the White House. Some raised eyebrows about that because you'll remember in that press conference about the president's health, when Admiral Jackson conducted his physical, there was a lot of very favorable talk about the president's health, which is a good thing, but not a lot of talk about some of the president's potential challenges in monitoring his weight, his exercise, that sort of thing. Admiral Jackson very publicly optimistic about the president's health. It got a lot of attention -- Kate?</s>BOLDUAN: It sure did. And now he will serve as assistant to the president and chief medical adviser. Barbara, thank you.
