The rear admiral of the Coast Guard said in a 2021 congressional hearing that in weighing new rules, it is required to consider the economic costs and benefits of implementation.

Demoted to captain after a Pentagon investigation, he still called himself a rear admiral on his congressional website until the Washington Post revealed his deceit in March.

Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, a former rear admiral in the Navy and White House physician, said the advice from the GOP leadership was simple: Be careful.

In 2022, a Department of Defense investigation found that he had gotten regularly drunk and abused subordinates during his service as rear admiral.

According to a former defense official and a current military official, Mr. Jackson was demoted from rear admiral to captain in the summer of 2022.
