A supervisor in the Department of Veterans Affairs pressured employees in Philadelphia to take part in psychic readings last year, according to an internal VA audit released Thursday.

USA Today reports that Lucy Filipov, the acting director of benefits, sent an email to eight senior employees before the readings, which took place in her home.

"I'll have munchies, wine/beer/vodka... (the psychic) will be doing private readings, they are $35," Filipov wrote in the email.

The clairvoyant who did the reading is a woman who is married to another VA executive. VA employees who went to the event later told auditors they felt uncomfortable.

The VA investigation said Filipov misused her authority and the agency may discipline her.

This latest revelation comes after the VA has faced scandals for delays for health care, manipulating records, and other problems.
