Trump removes watchdog overseeing coronavirus relief funds
It's easy to embezzle when you fire the guy who's supposed to prevent embezzlement -- only to replace him with a hand-picked crony.
Thoughts?
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has removed a top Pentagon official leading the committee tasked with overseeing implementation of the $2 trillion coronavirus law, putting his own pick in place.
Trump is replacing acting Pentagon Inspector General Glenn Fine, who a panel of inspectors general had named to lead the oversight committee, with EPA inspector general Sean O’Donnell.
O’Donnell will now temporarily be lead watchdog for both the agencies, pending the confirmation of Jason Abend, who Trump has nominated to fill the Defense Department role.
