“The chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee announced his intention to open an investigation in how three men "ostensibly used their wealth and connections to President Trump and his family to make decisions" for the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to a letter he sent to the agency on Friday.”
“Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., the chairman of the committee, requested documents, communications and telephone records between VA officials and Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter, Palm Beach doctor Bruce Moskowitz and attorney Marc Sherman. His letter was addressed to VA Secretary Robert Wilkie.”
"The three men allegedly formed an informal council that oversaw sweeping changes of the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to an August 2018 Pro Publica report.”
“The Committee on Veterans’ Affairs is opening an investigation into this relationship so that Congress, veterans, and the American people can better understand the scope and nature of this relationship between the Department and these individuals who have not served in the U.S. military nor U.S. government, and are not accountable to veterans and the American people,” Takano wrote in the letter.”
”Released Friday, the letter also outlined 20 different requests for documentation of interactions between the three men and VA officials.”
“When reached by telephone, Moskowitz directed NBC News to speak to Perlmutter, who did not respond to a request for comment. A representative for Moskowitz did not immediately provide a comment. Sherman could not be reached.”
