This list now includes Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin who has come under fire in a new report alleging a “misuse of VA resources” including “extensive use of official time.” This pattern of behavior by White House Cabinet members is unacceptable and undermines the American people’s trust in government.
