President Donald Trump called for Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., to resign Saturday over the release of allegations that led White House physician Ronny Jackson to end his bid to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Trump tweeted that the Secret Service told him that allegations against Jackson were “not true,” and he suggested that voters should punish Tester, a vulnerable Democrat who is defending his seat in a state that strongly supported the president in 2016, at the polls this year.
The president suggested on Twitter that the Secret Service has found all of the allegations released Wednesday by Tester’s staff to be untrue.
