The Pentagon's Inspector General is auditing the use of funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to ensure compliance with federal regulations. This audit follows concerns from House Democrats about the Pentagon's allocation of $1 billion to defense contractors for non-COVID-related supplies. The Defense Department's spending plan, which allocated $10.5 billion for various purposes, is under scrutiny. Political figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Ro Khanna have called for a thorough investigation to ensure funds serve public interests. The Pentagon maintains its transparency, but the audit's results are pending.
