Trump Will Sign An Executive Order Creating An Office To Get Rid Of Bad Veterans Affairs Employees

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Thursday establishing an office at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to discipline or fire incompetent employees or managers.

The executive order, likely to be signed Thursday according to a source with direct knowledge, will create an Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection.

The order “will help the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to discipline or terminate VA managers or employees who fail to carry out their duties in helping our veterans.

The office will also protect whistleblowers who find themselves targeted by management in the course of their disclosures.
