Glenn Fine, who was removed from his post as the acting inspector general for the Pentagon last month, announced his resignation Tuesday.
“The role of Inspectors General is a strength of our system of government,” Fine wrote in a statement. “They provide independent oversight to help improve government operations in a transparent way. They are a vital component of our system of checks and balances, and I am grateful to have been part of that system. After many years in the DoJ and DoD OIGs, I believe the time has come for me to step down and allow others to perform this vital role.”
Fine was picked by a panel of watchdogs to oversee the implementation of the $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill, but Trump removed him from his post in early April, replacing him with an EPA inspector.
