Trump discusses VA after promising 'major meeting'
BY BROOKE SEIPEL
President Trump said he would hold a "major meeting" Friday at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla., that would be "all about" the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), but the Friday meeting apparently never took place.
Instead, the White House said in a release the following evening that Trump spent a portion of his Saturday focusing on the issue.
Trump "spent the early morning and afternoon on issues concerning the Department of Veterans Affairs and the military," according to a readout from the White House late Saturday.
On Saturday evening, the White House said, "Trump had another meeting, including dinner, concerning the Department of Veterans Affairs and how to turn it around for the benefit of our great veterans."
"Great progress is being made and will be reported on in the future," the statement added.
