Trump's VA secretary, David Shulkin, is an Obama holdover.
Two weeks ago, Shulkin launched a purge of what he calls "Subversive" employees that he accuses of trying to undermine him.
The inspector general discovered that Shulkin also improperly accepted Wimbledon tickets from a British socialite.
To evade ethics guidelines, Shulkin claimed the socialite was his wife's "Friend," but the socialite couldn't even remember Shulkin's wife's name when questioned by investigators.
Wright Simpson misled an ethics officer into believing that Shulkin was receiving an award at a dinner and that his wife therefore qualified as an "Invitational traveler." It was a big fat fabrication.
Shulkin remains unrepentant and baselessly blamed a computer "Hack" for his top aide's email shenanigans.
As Colorado GOP Rep. Mike Coffman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee wrote in a letter to the White House last week: "Mr. President, you promised the American people that you would end the culture of corruption and bureaucratic incompetence that for far too long has defined the leadership of the VA. Unfortunately, Secretary Shulkin, by his conduct, lacks the moral authority to achieve your goals of a transparent, accountable VA.".
