Trump’s Surgeon General Pick Caused Tragic Childhood Gun Accident That Left Dad Shot: Report

“The trauma of that moment clung to me like an unrelenting shadow, unraveling the fabric of my young life and leaving me in a perpetual state of devastation,” she writes elsewhere in the book.

The doctor has never publicly acknowledged that her father died in an accidental shooting and has spoken about her role in the tragedy, according to the New York Times.

Hayat Nesheiwat, Janette’s mother, also served as an inspiration, working as a pediatric nurse and standing strong as the family’s cornerstone after her husband’s death, according to the memo.

Dr. Nesheiwat went on to have a career centered around hands-on medicine—working in the field after natural disasters and later as medical director for CityMD, a network of urgent care clinics in New York and New Jersey. She is also a Fox News contributor.

“Her experience and leadership have been critical during some of the most challenging health care crises of our time,” Trump said said in a statement at the time of her nomination last month.

Trump also noted that Nesheiwat worked on the front lines in New York City during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Dr. Nesheiwat will play a critical role in MAKING AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN!” emphasized the President-elect.

Julie Nesheiwat, Dr. Janette’s sister, was President Trump’s national security adviser during his first term.

Janette’s younger sister, Jaclyn, was a model who married Scott Stapp, lead singer of the rock band Creed.

Her other two brothers are lawyers.

Dr. Nesheiwat did not respond to the Times for the story and did not return a request for comment from the Post.
