Top Democrats and veterans groups called on Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Robert Wilkie to resign, citing a watchdog report that alleged he had discredited a congressional aide who reported being sexually assaulted at a VA facility.
In light of the VA inspector general’s (IG) report (pdf), House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) insisted that Wilkie step down.
