Former Head of VA Hospital in Nation's Capital Fired Again

The former director of the veterans hospital in the nation's capital has once again been fired.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says it's fired Brian Hawkins — citing audits that found mismanagement at the facility.

VA Secretary David Shulkin says he used new firing authority under an accountability law signed by President Donald Trump.

Brian Hawkins? Didn't he graduate from Pocomoke High about 1971 or '72?

Accountability has never been a priority at the VA, especially at the top.

The union, for the Department of Veterans Affairs employees, no longer rules whether they can be fired or not. This makes Trump look more like Reagan all the time. Remember the Airport Controller's union?
