VA Secretary David Shulkin's job at risk after scandals, and more are coming

Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin has survived a few major scandals this year, but some believe he's highly likely to be pushed out of his job soon, as additional watchdog reports will soon be released that will force him to explain more waste, abuse, and bungling at the troubled department.
"I think there's an 80 percent chance he won't be around in another month or two," said one informed source close to the situation.
Shulkin, an appointee of former President Barack Obama's, by most accounts had a steady and even glowing 2017 under President Trump.
