WASHINGTON—The No. 2 official in the Pentagon’s office of inspector general, Glenn Fine, resigned May 26, several weeks after he was effectively removed as head of a special board to oversee auditing of the $2.2 trillion CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus economic relief package.

A spokeswoman for the Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General, Dwrena Allen, said Fine was not asked to resign. Fine issued a brief written statement lauding the importance of government watchdogs.
