• Trump Removes Coronavirus Relief Oversight Official President Trump removed Glenn Fine, the acting Pentagon inspector general, from his role overseeing the federal government's coronavirus relief package. This action raised concerns about transparency and accountability in the distribution of emergency bailout funds.
• Acting Navy Secretary Resigns After Controversial Dismissal Defense Secretary Mark Esper accepted the resignation of Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly following a controversial incident where Modly publicly criticized Navy Capt. Brett Crozier. Modly had previously dismissed Crozier from command of the USS Theodore Roosevelt after the captain raised concerns about a COVID-19 outbreak aboard the ship.
• Wisconsin Holds Controversial In-Person Election During Pandemic Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Wisconsin conducted in-person voting after the state Supreme Court overturned Governor Tony Evers' attempt to delay the election.
