As a result, the Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery said he would have to “stand down” on investigating some of the most fraud-prone programs passed by Congress in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Pandemic inspector general blasts DOJ memo, urges Congress to clarify mandate

A watchdog seeking to provide oversight of trillions of dollars in coronavirus spending and other relief has blasted a new Justice Department memo while calling on Congress to clarify his oversight mandate. Brian Miller, the Treasury Department’s special inspector general for pandemic recovery, said Friday that a decision this week by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has “permanently reduced oversight” of specific relief programs implemented during the coronavirus pandemic. Miller in his quarterly report to Congress warned his efforts have been limited after the OLC held that his oversight jurisdiction applies only to Treasury’s direct loans and the Federal Reserve’s lending programs, but not the Coronavirus Relief Fund, Payroll Support Program and Paycheck Protection Program.
