Schumer calls on VA to explain use of unproven drug on vetsThe Senate’s top Democrat on Sunday called on the Department of Veterans Affairs to explain why it allowed the use of an unproven drug on veterans for the coronavirus, saying patients may have been put at unnecessary risk.

President Donald Trump has heavily promoted the malaria drug, without evidence, as a treatment for COVID-19.
