Wednesday, 08 Apr 2020 08:45 AM MYTWASHINGTON, April 8 — President Donald Trump removed the inspector general who was to oversee the government's US$2.3 trillion coronavirus response, the spokeswoman for the inspector general's office said yesterday, fuelling concerns in Congress about how his administration would manage the package.
Glenn Fine, acting inspector general for the Department of Defence, was named last week to chair a committee acting as a sort of uber-watchdog over the response, including health policy and the massive economic relief package, the largest in US history. Because Fine is no longer acting inspector general at the Pentagon, he is not eligible for the role overseeing the emergency coronavirus package, known as the Cares Act.Congressional Democrats said Fine's removal, less than a week after his appointment, strengthened their determination to conduct strict oversight of the massive spending package passed last month.
“We will continue to exercise our oversight to ensure that this historic investment of taxpayer dollars is being used wisely and efficiently to help workers and families,” she said in a statement.
