A major split has emerged between President Trump's White House and the Department of Veterans Affairs over whether VA employees should be allowed to tweet out anti-Trump messages.
The issue has come up as more tweets have emerged in which senior-level VA officials have mocked Trump on Twitter, posted stories that put Trump in a bad light, and compared his victory to the rise of fascism.
