Story highlights Donald Trump gave a speech outlining his plans to fix the Veterans Affairs department

He also criticized Hillary Clinton during his speech in Virginia

Virginia Beach, Virginia (CNN) Donald Trump laid out his plans Monday to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs and root out fraud and wrongdoing within the scandal-plagued agency, in a speech also peppered with barbs aimed at Hillary Clinton.

The presumptive Republican nominee promised a "full investigation" into the agency's scandals that came to light two years ago and laid out several reforms to improve veterans' services, including establishing a 24-hour White House hotline to address veterans' complaints about the VA and giving all veterans access to private medical care on the government's dime.

"I will instruct my staff that if a valid complaint is not addressed, that the issue be brought directly to me," Trump said. "And I will pick up the phone and fix it myself if I have to."

But Trump spoke about more than policy proposals as he read prepared remarks Monday in this city that is home to several military bases. He also addressed last week's attack on Dallas police officers and sought to draw a contrast between himself and Clinton.

"I am the law and order candidate," Trump saidd Monday. "Crooked Hillary Clinton is the secretary of the status quo and wherever Hillary Clinton goes, corruption and scandal will follow. Just look at her life."
