On this edition of Your Call, ProPublica reporter Isaac Arnsdorf joins us to discuss the changes that have happened in the Department of Veterans Affairs under the Trump Administration.
The VA is the second-largest federal agency, with a $200-plus billion budget and almost 400,000 employees serving nine million veterans. Arnsdorf reports that Donald Trump’s cronies are secretly shaping the administration’s veterans policies even though they have no experience with veterans or the military.
