Government Executive: President Trump on Wednesday tapped the Veterans Affairs Department's chief of staff to lead VA on a temporary basis, as the previous acting secretary awaits confirmation to serve as permanent secretary.
Peter O’Rourke has now been twice elevated at VA since he first joined the Trump administration to serve as the first ever executive director of VA’s Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection. Trump first created that office as part of his effort to ease the process of removing poorly performing and misbehaving VA employees. It was later codified in law under a measure Trump signed in June 2017.
