Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he will replace his Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin with Ronny Jackson, who currently serves as physician to the President. Shulkin is the second member of Trump's Cabinet to be ousted this month, following Secretary of State Rex Tillerson . A handful of senior White House officials have also resigned or been fired over the last two months, fueling chaos and uncertainty inside the West Wing. Shulkin's public comments rubbed White House officials, including chief of staff John Kelly, the wrong way. That frustration reached the White House recently, with Trump reportedly floating the idea in private of replacing Shulkin with Energy Secretary Rick Perry.
