President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he was nomination of Fox News' former medical staff, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as a US surgeon General, withdraw, a step that followed questions about her medical training and criticism of Gadfly Laura's conservative Gadfly Loomer.
Trump said in a social media post that he would be Dr. Casey means nominate for the general surgeon.
The President said that Nesheiwat would work with secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “in another capacity” at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Trump announced that Nesheiwat was no longer his candidate for the general surgeon one day before her confirmation in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee.
She is the sister -in -law of Trump's former national security advisor Mike Waltz.
Trump removed Waltz out of his post on Thursday and said that he had nominated him as a US ambassador of the United Nations.
Trump released several officials from the National Security Council at the beginning of April after Loomer said that she was dissatisfied with them. Waltz had defended the officials during a meeting in the Oval Office with Trump, in which Loomer took part.
The freelance writer Anthony Clark initially asked questions about Nesheiwat's educational claims in one post.
CBS News, referring to records that it checked, reported last week that Nesheiwat, who said that she had a degree at the Medical School of Medicine at the University of Arkansas, actually her medical degree at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine in St. Maarten.
“A spokeswoman for the University of Arkansas confirmed CBS News that she has completed her residence through his family medicine program in Fayetteeville, Arkansas, but did not receive her medical degree there,” reported the network.

On Sunday Loomer wrote in a post on X: “We really need a new candidate for the US surgeon General.”
Loomer criticized Nesheiwat that he had previously said that “vaccine hesitation is a global health threat” and set up her position in Fox News to promote the COVID 19 vaccine.
“I really wish we had another candidate who agreed with personal freedoms,” wrote Loomer.
Nesheiwat's nomination is the second high -ranking health officer of Trumps, which will be withdrawn this year.
The appointment of the former MP from Florida Dave Weldon to lead the centers for the control and prevention of diseases was led in March.
