Government Executive: President-elect Donald Trump is taking advice on how to run the Veterans Affairs Department from conservatives with ties to a group that has sought to drastically reduce the government’s role in providing health care to veterans.
Trump on Tuesday named Darin Selnick, a senior adviser to Concerned Veterans for America, to his VA landing team and met with the group’s former CEO Pete Hegseth at Trump Tower in New York City. The meeting comes as Trump is considering Hegseth for VA secretary, according to multiple reports. Trump has previously said he would look for a secretary who would be a “person of great competence” and “not a political hack.”
