"The questions are just ridiculous," one VA physician complained about the three men's interference.
A new trove of documents has exposed how intrusively a trio of Donald Trump’s wealthy friends at Mar-a-Lago with absolutely no government experience meddled in the operations of the Department of Veterans Affairs and pestered staff with what one VA physician called “ridiculous” questions and demands.
They had no experience in veterans affairs nor underwent any kind of approval process to serve as de facto managers. Yet, with Trump’s approval, they directed actions and criticized operations without any oversight. They wasted valuable staff time in hundreds of pages of communications and meetings, emails show. ProPublica last year obtained hundreds of pages of communications mostly from the three men. The CREW emails reveal disdainful attitudes within the department to the trio’s meddling.
This is an outrage. VA staff are being forced to answer to Mar-a-Lago customers. https://t.co/j91vgtiXFb pic.twitter.com/IbPD7u5V00Story continuesSupervisors passed along demands to answer complex questions or follow instructions with the explanation that it came from a Trump associate — and that responses would have to be handled “sensitively and with facts.”
Another complained of Sherman: “Not sure where Mr. Sherman is going with his comments but our language in the contract is consistent with the requirements of our clinicians [and] various external reviews.”
