Hello,
The Trump administration tried to block the release of a list of companies that received small business bailout loans during the COVID-19 crisis. Now we know why.
The results are shocking: many prominent members of the GOP directly profited from the program. Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, who is also Trump’s Transportation Secretary, received a loan of up to $1 million. A school owned by the family of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, received between $1 million to $2 million. A number of businesses owned by GOP congressmen also received millions in loans.
This is simply unfair. Small businesses around the country have struggled since the pandemic started. Many have closed. Yet Republicans made sure to secure millions in public funding for their personal benefit. This blatant corruption starts at the top with President Trump. It must end now. Tell us:
