When traveling on air force one, physicians and nurses describe him handing out ambien to help people sleep and provigil to help them wake up, earning him this nickname the candy man. Because he dolled out prescription drugs like candy on these trips where they flew through multiple time zones.

Reporter and wrecking a government car . He denies that, too. It should be very easy to prove that. I have not wrecked a car. Reporter before these new bombshell allegations came out, the white house spent the day defending jackson.

Reporter but she couldnt say if they vetted him again before nominating him to lead the v. A. When was his most recent background check . Id have to look at the specific date, but my understanding is that a new one took place at the time of the new administration. Reporter there were already serious questions about whether the president s personal physician can manage the governments secondlargest agency, with a budget of nearly 200 billion. It was a suggestion, now, i know theres an experience problem, because lack of experience. Reporter today, the white house insisted jackson is the right person for the job.

Hawaii and several private plaintiffs arguing the president exceeded his authority with that ban, and that it discriminates against muslims. There was scrutiny and many other questions, though. Justice elena kagan asking this. Lets say in some future time, a president gets elected who is a vehement antisemite and asks his staff or cabinet members to issue recommendations so that he can issue a proclamation of this kind, and they dot all the is and they cross all the ts. And what emerges is a proclamation that says no one shall enter from israel. If his cabinet were to actually come to him and say, mr.
