President Trump signed an executive action on Thursday to create an “Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection” at the Department of Veterans Affairs, a move aimed at allowing VA leadership to identify areas of misconduct or duplication within the agency workforce.

“With the creation of this office, we are sending a strong message: those who fail our veterans will be held, for the first time, accountable,” Trump said during a signing ceremony at the VA headquarters, flanked by Vice President Mike Pence and VA Secretary David Shulkin.
