The White House is expected to obtain its nomination to Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as general surgeon of the United States just one day before it would be expected to appear before the Senate for their confirmation audience, sources told ABC News.
By announcing his intention to nominate Nesheiwat to the position in November, President Donald Trump promoted his work on the first line in New York City during the Ponesmia del Coronavirus.
Nesheiwat was a frequent medical collaborator of Fox News and worked as a doctor at Time Square Citymd Urgent Care Clinic before becoming one of its medical directors.

Bloomberg first reported The move earlier on Wednesday.
The news occurs when right -wing activist Laura Loomer asked the president to choose a new candidate after she came to light that Nesheiwat received her doctor’s degree from the American University of the Caribbean instead of the University of Arkansas. Lomer also criticized Nesheiwat for being pro-vacuna.
Initially, he promoted the COVID-19 vaccine, calling it “a gift from God” in a 2021 opinion article for Fox News, but a year later, he opposed vaccination mandates for children during an appearance in the Fox News of Tucker Carlson, despite medical studies that show that the COVID-19 vaccine can greatly reduce the possibilities of serious symptoms, hospitalization and death by the virus of patients of all ages of all ages.
Trump praised Nesheiwat during his November announcement, calling her “Feroz Defensor and a strong communicator of preventive medicine and public health.”
The White House has not responded to ABC News comments.
Nesheiwat is the sister -in -law of former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who was withdrawn from his position last week and nominated for being the United States ambassador to the United Nations.
Waltz was criticized after it was revealed that it was part of a signal group chat with the members of the National Security team, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in which the imminent military plans discussed and inadvertently invited the chief editor of the Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat.
Lomer also asked Waltz to be triggered after the scandal.
It has become a more prominent figure in Trump’s intimate circle and made recommendations to Trump about whom to shoot, sources told ABC News last month.
“She makes recommendations of things and people, and sometimes I listen to those recommendations, as I do with everyone,” Trump said last month. “I listen to everyone, and then I make a decision. But I saw it yesterday. I was at the ceremony and it is, it will always have something to say, generally very constructive.”
