McCaul Calls for Inspector General Investigation Into Alleged Misconduct by Veterans’ Affairs 

AUSTIN, TX – Today, Congressman Michael McCaul joined twenty three of his colleagues from the Texas delegation in signing a letter led by Congressman Lamar Smith to the Inspector General of Veterans’ Affairs. The letter calls for an investigation into the allegations that Veterans Affairs officials in Central Texas manipulated appointment data in order to conceal long wait times for veterans seeking an appointment. 

McCaul: “It is important that the Inspector General do a thorough investigation into these allegations.  The Department of Veterans' Affairs has a duty to care for veterans in a timely manner and be faithful stewards of President Lincoln’s promise to 'care for those who have borne the battle.' The allegations that data was manipulated to conceal long wait times is disturbing, our veterans deserve better and the American people deserve answers.”
