Robert Wilkie, who served as the Defense Department’s under secretary for personnel and readiness, will now lead the Department of Veterans Affairs after the Senate confirmed him in a 86-9 vote Monday evening. Wilkie was nominated in May after former secretary David Shulkin clashed with the president and was investigated for ethics issues and misuse of his security detail.
