Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: The Department of Veterans Affairs admits, it doesn't quite have coronavirus testing available for employees as it previously suggested it did. VA offered some clarity on how it's been handling its pandemic response in recent months. Congress agrees, VA's response has been relatively smooth, despite some challenges with personal protective equipment and testing for employees. But VA says it's fully expecting a second potential wave of the virus down the road. And that has budget implications for the department.
