Trump says a Democratic senator should resign for sharing allegations against his VA pick

President Trump on Saturday pushed back on allegations made by Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) about Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the president's former pick to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs:

Previously, on Friday, Trump called Tester's actions an "absolute disgrace" and mused that Montana is not "going to put up with it."

Jackson withdrew his nomination Thursday following accusations that he crashed a government vehicle while drunk, drank on the job, and handed out prescription drugs "like candy." Jackson denied all allegations. The White House on Friday shared documents with The Wall Street Journal intended to substantiate Jackson's defense.
