Glenn Fine will no longer serve as the Defense Department's acting inspector general and will no longer chair the committee charged with overseeing the $2 trillion coronavirus rescue package Congress has passed, Inside Defense has learned. Fine, who has been acting DOD IG since 2016, will revert to his position as principal deputy inspector general, while Sean O'Donnell, the Environmental Protection Agency's inspector general, will serve as the acting DOD IG in addition to his current duties at EPA. Additionally, Fine will no longer serve as head of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee, a position he was tapped for March 30. Meanwhile, President Trump has nominated Jason Abend, who currently serves as senior policy advisor at United States Customs and Border Protection, to be the new DOD IG. Dwrena Allen, a DOD IG spokeswoman, said Fine would continue to serve as principal deputy inspector general.
