Trump Withdraws Surgeon General Nominee Janette Nesheiwat

President Donald Trump has withdrawn the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a Fox News medical contributor, as U.S. surgeon general following questions about her medical education and professional background. Nesheiwat, who was set for a Senate confirmation hearing, faced criticism for misrepresenting her medical degree and for her on-air pandemic commentary, as well as questions about her public health experience and involvement in selling dietary supplements with dubious claims. The decision comes after public pressure from Trump allies and recent media scrutiny over her credentials. Trump announced he will instead nominate Dr. Casey Means for the position, while stating that Nesheiwat will serve in another role at the Department of Health and Human Services. This marks the second time the Trump administration has withdrawn a major health nominee in recent months amid controversy. The surgeon general oversees the U.S. Public Health Service Corps and plays a key role in national public health advisories.
