WASHINGTON, March 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A former Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) social work associate was convicted yesterday by a jury on four counts of honest services mail fraud, violating the criminal conflict of interest statute and making a false statement to agency officials, Acting Assistant Attorney General Rita M.
