Doesn't Trump's statements to ignore the Act's provisions go somewhere else?[edit]

From this: Wouldn't this belong in a (SIGPR) Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery article instead, or maybe the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act wp article?

As a part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, a provision was included that the Special Inspector General would report directly to Congress. Trump later stated that he would ignore the provision, and that any information shared with Congress would be vetted by him. The decision was condemned by lawmakers, including Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Richard Blumenthal, and others.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] Montana Senator Jon Tester and Utah Senator Mitt Romney also drafted a letter to the president in support of an independent Special Inspector General.^[5]

Trump believes the IG overseeing the $500 billion relief fund will first need his permission to make reports to Congress. In a signing statement, released hours after Trump signed the bill, Trump suggested he can gag the IG and can decide what information the IG could share with Congress.
