Updated, 1:46 Pm: Amid all the Michael Cohen/Sean Hannity/Stormy Daniels uproar today, Donald Trump officially nominated his personal White House physician Dr. Ronny L. Jackson to replace the fired David Shulkin as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The nom has been sent to the Senate.
Navy Rear Admiral Jackson, who has no political experience, was hurled into the national consciousness in January when he fronted a nearly hourlong White House news conference to vouch for Trump’s health. Some cable news pundits have cited sources as saying Jackson might face a difficult Senate confirmation hearing.
Previously, March 28: After days of silence on the much-rumored subject, President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday afternoon that he’s dumping Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin.
Trump tweeted he will appoint Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, currently Trump’s physician, to replace Shulkin.

Embattled Epa chief Scott Pruitt is the latest Cabinet member spotted in the Trump Tumbril, after Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told Fox News Channel’s Sandra Smith on Thursday, “I cannot speak to the future of Scott Pruitt.”
And that was before CBS News began reporting this afternoon that a security agent was removed from Pruitt’s detail after telling Pruitt he could not turn on his vehicles light and sirens to circumvent a Washington traffic jam because it was not an emergency situation. CBS News reports the 16-year agency veteran got yanked and re-assigned days later.
Pruitt has been on tumbril watch since reports surfaced about his having given two Epa pals huge pay raises and a sweetheart deal in which he pays the wife of a Washington lobbyist 50 bucks a night for his housing while in town. Pruitt made it worse when he ignored White...
