Earlier this week, House Veterans Affairs oversight subcommittee chairman Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., demanded immediate action from top VA officials after [VA OIG] reports that the department’s deputy chief procurement officer [Susan M. Taylor] gave unfair financial advantages to an outside federal contractor with whom she was having an affair.
In a letter to VA Secretary Bob McDonald, Coffman said the incident is just the latest example of “the morally bankrupt and ethically impaired culture that exists within the department.”
House Veterans Affairs Chairman Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., has said he wants investigators looking into data manipulation and fraud cases at VA regional facilities to also focus their attention on the department’s leadership, to see whether other top officials covered up systemic problems.
