Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki was subpoenaed Thursday to testify before the House Committee on Veterans Affairs to answer allegations that delayed treatment at VA hospitals resulted in deaths of dozens of veterans.
The committee also is seeking documents linked to charges that hospital staff at a VA facility in Phoenix destroyed secret records on veterans awaiting care.
After veterans groups met with Shinseki urging him to 'go public' about the allegations and reassure veterans, he conducted a series of media interviews saying that he was angry about reported delays of care and any deaths that resulted and had sought an investigation by the agency's inspector general.
Shinseki dismissed calls by members of Congress and the American Legion, the nation's largest service organization, for him to step down.
