A White House doctor who raised concerns about Ronny L. Jackson, the president’s former physician and scuttled nominee to run the Department of Veterans Affairs, has resigned. Jennifer Peña, the vice president’s lead doctor, left her position on Friday, according to a White House spokeswoman. “The Vice President’s Office was informed today by the White House Medical Unit of the resignation,” Alyssa Farah, the vice president’s spokeswoman, said in a statement. “Physicians assigned to the Vice President report to the White House Medical Unit and thus any resignation would go entirely through the medical unit, not the vice president’s office.”Peña did not respond to requests for comment. Officials announced this week that Jackson would not return as Trump’s personal physician but would continue to work within the White House Medical Unit.
