President Donald Trump has relieved more than 8,000 Veterans Affairs employees for failing their duties since they took office, said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie.<\/p>\n

In a press conference, Wilkie said that \u201cthe standard is if you dont live up to your oath if you dont live up to the standards that our veterans expect, that you will be asked to leave,\u201d according to a White House transcript<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also reported the same year that 40 veterans died while waiting for appointments to see a doctor at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care System.<\/p>\n

The reports of veterans not getting adequate health care triggered an Obama administration investigation in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Wilkie noted that VA employees were removed for not performing their duties to the proper standards.<\/p>\n

Trump remarked about Veterans Affairs during an October speech in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you remember all of the bad stories that used to be about the VA?\u201d he asked, according to a transcript<\/a>. \u201cNow you dont see that because they haRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
