The document includes allegations that Dr. Jackson regularly distributed Ambien, a prescription sleep aid, to members of the White House staff and members of the news media flying on long overseas trips, as well as another prescription drug to promote wakefulness.
It says that the committee was told that physicians working with Dr. Jackson “felt uncomfortable and refused to be a part of the loose dispensing of drugs to current and former” White House staff. It also states that Dr. Jackson “also had private stocks of controlled substances.”
The document says that the committee received testimony that the White House medical unit “had questionable record keeping for pharmaceuticals” and that the committee was told that Dr. Jackson would often only account for pills after distributing them.
One former medical staff member described Dr. Jackson as a “kiss up, kick down boss,” who mistreated subordinates and created a hostile work environment.
