President Signs Legislation Cosponsored by McCain to Enhance Accountability & Protect Whistleblowers at VA

Statement

U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today released the following statement applauding President Trump for signing into law the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act:

"I am gratified President Trump today signed our legislation that advances critical reforms to change the culture that led to the scandal in care at the VA. This bill finally corrects the archaic and broken civil service system that has prevented the VA Secretary from removing bad actors, and strengthens protections for whistleblowers who are committed to the health and wellbeing of veterans. We have a long way to go to fully reform the VA, but this law is an important step forward in ensuring our veterans receive the best quality health care they have earned and deserve."
