Trump Considering Former House Veterans Affairs' Chair Jeff Miller for VA Secretary

President Trump is said to be considering former House Veterans' Affairs (VA) Committee Chair Jeff Miller to head the Department of Veterans Affairs, reports the Washington Examiner . Miller retired in 2016 after serving eight terms in Congress. He has since become an advocate for American veterans. Miller, a Republican from Florida, also helped craft a $16 million bipartisan VA reform plan in 2014. That bill was passed three years after he began to serve as chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee. At the time, the VA was facing a number of scandals and controversy. Miller's potential nomination comes after White House physician Ronny Jackson withdrew his nomination amid scrutiny that made his confirmation doubtful. An official announcement for a candidate for the job is not expected to be made soon.
