I've obtained by FOIA surveillance video of the brutal beating of elderly Vietnam vet by a VA employee at an Atlanta VA clinic. @2Investigates was 1st to report on the attack last month. The attacker, Lawrence Gaillard is still employed by VA. @wsbtv at 6

the person blurred out by the VA in that surveillance video is this man, Lawrence Gaillard. A "patient advocate" at the VA. He was initially charged in federal court by the US Attorney, but @wsbtv has learned the case has been turned over to Fulton County DA Fanni Willis
Watch our @wsbtv story at the link below. The @DeptVetAffairs employee beating an elderly Vietnam veteran at an Atlanta clinic in the surveillance video @2Investigates obtained by #FOIA is still employed by Atlanta VA wsbtv.com/news/local/atl…
At 6: @DeptVetAffairs finally suspended without pay the VA employee in this video AFTER we aired the video exclusively on @wsbtv last week- but we know VA leadership saw that video nearly 2 months earlier when we 1st broke the story of the attack. Why did it take so long to act?
The Secretary of @DeptVetAffairs is also speaking out now about the disturbing attack by a VA employee on an elderly veteran 1st reported by @wsbtv calling it "heartbreaking" & "abhorrent"
The @DeptVetAffairs finally suspended Lawrence Gaillard for the brutal beating of an elderly veteran April 28th - but only AFTER @wsbtv publicly shared surveillance video of the attack - video VA leadership in Atlanta saw 2 months ago wsbtv.com/news/local/atl…
