The Defense Department’s inspector general who was appointed to oversee spending from the $2.2 trillion economic stimulus signed last week by President Donald Trump has been fired from his watchdog role at the Pentagon, according to a report by Politico.
Reports say Trump removed Glenn Fine from his role as the acting inspector general, meaning the career government official is now ineligible to serve on the stimulus oversight board charged with monitoring spending and preventing any mishandling of the public’s relief funds.
By law, only current inspectors general can serve on the audit panel.
Fine’s appointment as the chair of the stimulus committee last week was widely praised in Washington.
“Glenn Fine has a good reputation as a tough federal prosecutor and former [Department of Justice] Inspector General, and must exercise his full oversight authority to ensure that the Trump administration implements the CARES Act as intended,” Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-New York) said in a statement.

Why didn’t you know that? Haven’t you followed the things that she’s said over the last few years?
Anyway, Don Jr. is cut from the same cloth as his father, he’s a much safer bet for conservatives. Ivanka doesn’t have much going but her looks.
I looked up some stuff after you said something and it appears she does have some troubling stances, but honestly so did her father in the not so distant past.
I .. just like her for some reason, and its not just her looks.
Guy was probably trying to do what Schumer told him and siphon off a few million.
Best president ever.
Considering well endowed universities like Harvard and Stanford got away with taking some of this money (Harvard has relented), I’m not surprised President Trump chose to get rid of the person overseeing this.
I’m surprised this didn’t come up in the White House presser this afternoon.
If Schmucky was praising him, it’s a safe bet that PDJT is doing the right thing by $hitcanning this @$$hat.
“I’m surprised this didn’t come up in the White House presser this afternoon.”
Why would it? This story is 2 weeks old.
“If Chuck’s for it then I’m 100% against it. Every time.”
Yep, Dem plant, good that he’s gone.
Oops. You’re right. Thanks for letting me know.
No way. I do not want one family leading our country. How about Pompeo?
That’s the second jerkwad fired for not knowing how to do it right.
Mike Pompeo, please.
After what Trump has done and the way the left hates him, I’d roll out the red carpet for Don Jr. Just imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the left if he wins.
I could except Pompeo, in fact, I’ve been one who very early on said he should be our next choice. But the more I think about it, I think Don Jr. would be the best one to carry on the Trump agenda.
I really do.
A Republican governor. More importantly a Trump Republican.
If Chuck Schumer is aggravated, I’m opening up this single barrel whiskey I’ve brought home tonight, barreled on 1-23-12, barrel # 82, and bottled on 12-11-19, and taking at least three pulls before bedtime. Die a$$hole die!
I like the idea of Don Jr.Would you trust anybody eles?
Im in
Yeah, if Chucky Schmucky is praising him, then you know he's a dog.
