President Trump announced Friday that he has selected a member of the White House Counsel's office to serve as the inspector general overseeing the dispersement of hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds as part of the coronavirus relief package.
Trump has tapped Brian Miller, who serves as a special assistant to the president and senior associate counsel in the White House Counsel's office, to serve as the special inspector general for pandemic recovery.
The new position, under the Department of the Treasury, is tasked with tracking loans, loan guarantees and other expenditures made by the department. It was created as part of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill and is authorized for five years.
The White House noted that Miller previously served as inspector general for the General Services Administration for nearly a decade and has served in other high-profile federal positions, including within the Department of Justice as senior counsel to the deputy attorney general.
