Trump flip-flops on nominee as White House scrambles to shore up troubled pick's support

The White House was pushing to reaffirm its support for troubled surgeon general nominee Casey Means on Tuesday after President Donald Trump suggested he could withdraw her nomination.

Trump said this weekend that he would be open to pulling his support for Means, who is the sister of Calley Means, a White House senior adviser, The Hill reported.

“Well, we’re looking at a lot of different things. I don’t know how she’s doing in the nomination process. I’m more focused on Iran,” Trump demurred.
