It also presents a stark contrast to the stellar portrait offered by Jackson’s defenders, who have described previous allegations as a smear job. Jackson’s record as a White House physician has been impeccable,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Wednesday. Two former White House officials told The Post of instances when Jackson drank while traveling with the president — a violation of the White House Medical Unit’s policy. That official, and another former senior administration official, said they had seen Jackson more than 100 times in the White House. The Post was unable to confirm the report’s description that Jackson was once “passed out drunk in his hotel room” when a White House official needed medical attention.
