There’s more legal drama on the horizon between Donald Trump and Stephanie Clifford (a/k/a Stormy Daniels), and now it’s threatening to progress into some Pentagon Papers-level stuff.

Last week, per Axios, Shulkin met with John Kelly before speaking with the president, who then did this as they discussed VA health care reform legislation:

Trump surprised Shulkin by dialing in Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth on speaker phone to get his opinion of the legislation, according to two sources with knowledge of the conversation…

The Hegseth call put Shulkin in an awkward spot, according to those sources. Hegseth competed for Shulkin’s job and favors more aggressive reform for the VA. Trump talks to Hegseth regularly and enjoys watching him on Fox and Friends.

A recent Daily Beast report said Trump is being “advised” by Hegseth, who will “sometimes try to inject VA and veterans issues into the conversation and steer the discussion in a more policy-oriented direction” before Trump brings up “what he just saw on Fox & Friends.”
