| VA Wonâ??t Release Report on Temple Abuse and Corruption Probe |
 |
The Department of Veterans Affairs on Thursday refused to release documents that might explain why at least one high-ranking VA official was exonerated after agency investigators initially named him as participating in a wide-ranging scheme at its Temple campus to defraud the VA and take advantage of vulnerable veterans. Two weeks ago, an American-Statesman report detailed the preliminary results of an internal administrative boardâ??s investigation, which found years of mistreatment of veterans undergoing substance abuse treatment. The abuse included forcing the veterans to work at the homes of VA officials, and an attempt to profit from fraudulent purchase orders and questionable contracts.

This week, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Anello issued an order for class-action status in the lawsuit filed in 2014 in Southern District of California. The lawsuit says executives ignored backlash from the film which examined a trainerâ??s death and the practice of holding killer whales in captivity.
