Federal Times: WASHINGTON — White House officials on Tuesday gave no indication of imminent action against Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, but they also declined to give strong support to the embattled Cabinet official’s work leading the department.
Shulkin has been under public scrutiny for the past week, since the release of an inspector general report that found multiple ethics violations during his trip overseas to Denmark and London last summer.
The charges include improperly using taxpayers’ funds to pay for his wife’s travel, a top staffer altering emails to justify the expenses, accepting Wimbledon tickets as a gift from an English businesswoman, and lying about internal reviews concerning the trip afterwards.
