Veterans Affairs secretary nominee Ronny Jackson on Wednesday denied new allegations he drunkenly wrecked a car and said his embattled nomination is "moving ahead."

“I never wrecked a car," Jackson told reporters at the White House, adding that he has "no idea where that is coming from."

Democrats on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee released a report on Wednesday containing new allegations against Jackson, including that he "got drunk and wrecked a government vehicle" at a Secret Service going-away party.

Jackson said the charge would be easy to disprove and insisted "we’re still moving ahead as planned.”

The accusations, however, could further jeopardize Jackson's chances of leading the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The report also says that in his current job as physician to the president, Jackson provided a "large supply" of the prescription opioid painkiller Percocet to a White House military office staff member, wrote himself prescriptions and kept a "private stock" of drugs.

Jackson was already facing heavy scrutiny over allegations of overseeing a hostile work environment at the White House medical office as well as questions about his qualifications to lead the agency, which raised doubts about whether he could be confirmed.

The White House has signaled it plans to fight to save Jackson's nomination, even as the new allegations surfaced.
