*A troubled Tennessee-based Veterans Affairs (VA) facility is under fire for sexual misconduct allegations found in a congressional investigation.
Revelations from the probe reveal that at least 12 officials who worked at the Mountain Home VA Medical Center (aka the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center), took part in an orgy, the Nork York Post reports, per Breitbart News.
Adding to the scandal is a bargaining unit biomedical employee who had sexual relationships with 32 different women who worked at the VA facility. The episodes were too good to keep under the hat, with the employee and several of the women bragging about it on an online government communication portal that VA officials use to communicate, sources told Breitbart.
At least four employees — including the biomedical staffer and Mountain Home facility director Dean Borsos — have quit over the allegations, which could go back as far as 2020, a source told the outlet, which added that at least two employees confessed to having sex on the VA hospital’s grounds.

As for the orgy, although 12 staffers took part in it, it isn’t clear yet if it took place on government property.
“The fact that the culture would even allow this to happen in the first place is absolutely wild and it all starts at the top,” a senior congressional aide familiar with the investigation told Breitbart News on Dec. 3.
The fallout from the Mountain Home VA Medical Center is a severe blow against the VA, which has more than 370,000 healthcare employees on staff who provide multiple services to veterans.
News of employee sexploits at the Tennessee VA has reached VA Secretary Denis McDonough via a letter from the House Committee on Veterans Affairs in July, requesting that he look into the allegations after concerns were raised to the committee by VA employees.
In August Committee Chairman Michael Bost (R-Ill.) got into the situation, writing a second letter to McDonough after a response from the top Biden administration official was not received.
Both letters requested extensive documentation from the facility, according to the Post.
Bost said, “Whistleblowers have been in communication with Committee staff and provided further details on the allegations and information regarding additional allegations of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and improper interpersonal relationships at the Mountain Home VA, which facility leadership allegedly did not address properly, that was previously unknown to Committee staff, Bost has said since July. “This new information is extremely disturbing and leads the Committee to believe there may be a serious culture problem at the Mountain Home VA,” he added.
Supporting the investigation, Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) both weighed in respectively, with Blackburn labeling the situation “serious and disgusting.”
“The allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault at the VA Medical Center in Mountain Home are serious and disgusting, and American taxpayers deserve thorough and immediate answers from the Inspector General’s ongoing investigation,” she told local outlet WJHL in a statement in August while directing blame towards the Biden-Harris administration.
“This is not the first time the VA has been the subject of scandal under the Biden-Harris administration, and any responsible parties must be held accountable,” Blackburn said.

With the current administration on the way out, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), President Donald Trump’s new pick to lead the VA and a vocal critic of the organization in the past, could be the one taking over the investigation.
