Democrats Demand White House Reveal Details of Outside Businessmen’s Influence on VA Policy

Congressional Democrats are demanding the White House clarify who is leading veterans policy efforts for the administration after a ProPublica investigation found evidence a trio of executives with personal ties to President Donald Trump have been privately influencing department decisions.... Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., said the confusion was further evidence that the White House needs to make public its visitor logs and membership information for Trump’s private resorts.

Being wealthy enough to pay Mar-a-Lago membership fees doesn’t qualify you to make life or death decisions for the brave men and women who honorably serve our nation.
