WASHINGTON – The nation's largest veterans organization and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday joined the growing calls for the ouster of President Donald Trump's Veterans Affairs chief, under fire after a government audit found he acted unprofessionally, if not unethically, in the handling of a congressional aide’s allegation of sexual assault at a VA hospital. “It is unfair to expect accountability from the nearly 400,000 VA employees and not demand the same from its top executive.
It is clear that Secretary Robert Wilkie failed to meet the standard that the veteran who came forward with the complaint deserved,” the American Legion's national commander, James W. “Bill” Oxford, said in a statement.
