VA improperly awarded $11M in bonuses to 180 senior executives; Secretary McDonough ordered repayment, but none have done so eight months later.

Veterans Affairs (VA) improperly awarded almost $11 million in bonuses to over 180 senior executives, with some exceeding $100,000, according to a report by the Inspector General's office. Secretary Denis McDonough ordered the executives to repay the VA, but they are yet to do so eight months later. The VA claimed the bonuses were attributed to administrative mistakes, not legal wrongdoing.
