Norfolk, VA – As Virginia’s veterans face the loss of services and growing uncertainty amid Donald Trump’s government shutdown, Attorney General Jason Miyares remains silent – failing once again to stand up for Virginians. The shutdown is already disrupting operations at the Department of Veterans Affairs, causing delays in treatment, benefits, and critical services that veterans rely on every day, according to reporting from WVEC.
Despite experts saying it will only get harder for veterans to contact the VA for care, Miyares hasn’t said a word about the crisis or called on Trump to end the shutdown and protect Americans’ healthcare – even as Virginia’s veteran population feels the effects firsthand. Miyares has made it clear: no matter how much Virginians need him to push back against the administration, he will always put his loyalty to Trump first.
