Reports: VA Head Shulkin & National Security Adviser McMaster May Be Ousted Soon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is now speculation that President Trump will soon oust Veterans
Affairs Secretary David Shulkin and replace him with Energy Secretary
Rick Perry. Shulkin has been facing criticism for various ethics
violations, including using taxpayer money to pay for his wife's airfare
during a trip to Europe last summer. And there's also speculation that
Trump may soon oust National Security Adviser H.R. Mc Master. All this
comes as Trump claimed at the White House Tuesday that he's "very close
to having the Cabinet [he wants]."

President Donald Trump: "I've gotten to know a lot of people very well
over the last year, and I'm really at a point where we're getting very
close to having the Cabinet and other things that I want."
