President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he withdraws his nomination to the former medical collaborator of Fox News, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, as the general surgeon of the United States, a measure that followed questions about his medical education and criticism of the conservative Gadfly Laura Loomer.
Trump, in a publication on social networks, said he would name Dr. Casey Media for the General Surgeon.
The president said that Nesheiwat will work in the Department of Health and Human Services with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “in another capacity.”
Trump announced that Nesheiwat was no longer his candidate for the general surgeon one day before he appeared for his confirmation hearing in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
She is the sister -in -law of former Trump National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz.
Trump took Waltz out of his post on Thursday and said he was nominating him to become the United States ambassador to the United Nations.
Trump fired several officials of the National Security Council at the beginning of April after Lomer said he was not happy with them. Waltz had defended the officials during a meeting at the Oval office with Trump who attended Loomer.
The independent writer, Anthony Clark, raised questions for the first time about Nesheiwat's education claims in a position in Sushack.
CBS News, citing records he reviewed, reported last week that Nesheiwat, who had said he had a degree from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Arkansas, obtained his doctor's degree from the Faculty of Medicine of the American University of the Caribbean, located in St. Maarten.
“A spokesman from the University of Arkansas confirmed to CBS News that he completed his residence through his family medicine program in Fayetteville, Arkansas, but did not get his doctor's degree there,” the network reported.
On Sunday, Loomer, in a publication about X, wrote: “We really need a new nominated for the United States General Surgeon.”
Lomer criticized Nesheiwat for having said previously that “the vaccine vaccine is a threat to global health”, and for using its position in Fox News to promote the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I would really want to have a different nominated that was more aligned with personal freedoms,” Loomer wrote.
Nesheiwat's nomination is the second official Trump high -rank health selection that is withdrawn this year.
The nomination of former Florida Dave Weldon representative to direct the centers for disease control and prevention was thrown in March.
