Senate Dem Leader to VA Chief: Get Out
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called on Veterans Affairs Secretary James Nicholson to resign Tuesday amid reports of the latest VA data breach. Reid isn't the first Democrat to demand Nicholson's resignation, but he's certainly the most prominent. Rep. Bob Filner, D-Calif., called for Nicholson's head in the wake of the first VA data theft, but at the urging of House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Steve Buyer, R-Ind., he ratcheted down his rhetoric, particularly after Nicholson promised to make the VA the "gold standard" for information security.--Daniel Pulliam
