Trump’s first pick for surgeon general to still work for HHS
by Alejandra O’Connell-Domenech - 05/08/25 8:49 PM ET
President Trump recently switched his nomination for Surgeon General but his first pick, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, will continue to work at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr said during a Thursday interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that the administration will put Nesheiwat in “a very good place,” in the agency.
The White House pulled Nesheiwat’s nomination after her credentials were scrutinized last month. CBS News reported that the physician and former Fox News contributor graduated from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, not the University of Arkansas School of Medicine, as she said after her nomination was announced.
Earlier this week, the Trump administration replaced Nesheiwat with wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means.
