The O’Keefe Media Group obtained a leaked memo detailing an unusual “presidential inauguration medical personnel support deployment request” for Trump’s inauguration.
The Department of Veterans Affair insider told James O’Keefe that she has never seen a request like this before.
“This is not normal,” the VA insider told James O’Keefe.
Per O’Keefe Media Group:
“What concerned me was that this has never been requested before, especially not from HHS,” an insider within the Department of Veterans Affairs told O’Keefe Media Group, revealing an internal memorandum requesting medical personnel ahead of the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. The documents, addressed to Dr. Paul D. Kim of the Veterans Health Administration’s Office of Emergency Management, detail a formal appeal for paramedics, emergency nurses, and doctors.
When questioned by James O’Keefe about if it was typical for the Office of Emergency Management to administer this kind of memorandum for previous inaugurations, Derrick Jaastad, the Executive Director for the VHA Office of Emergency Management, said, “I was not with the organization, so I can’t speak to that.
Directed to speak with Public Affairs Specialist Kurt M. Rauschenberg, an OMG Journalist, asked if the deployment of medical personnel by HHS was typical for a presidential inauguration.
