The Inspector General for the Department of Veterans Affairs is reviewing claims that VA Secretary Robert Wilkie attempted to discredit a House committee staffer who reported she was sexually assaulted at a VA facility in Washington, CNN has confirmed
A letter from Inspector General Michael Missal to House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Mark Takano calls the probe"a high priority for our office."Earlier this month, CNN reported that the watchdog was reviewing a request to investigate allegations that Wilkie sought"damaging information" about Andrea Goldstein, a congressional staffer who alleged she was sexually assaulted at a government-run veterans hospital.
Mandreucci told CNN earlier this month that the allegations against Wilkie are not true, saying,"Secretary Wilkie did not and never would do anything of this sort."She added that the VA"takes all allegations of sexual assault seriously, which is why the department immediately reported Ms. Goldstein's allegations to VA's independent inspector general as well as the deputy attorney general.
