The Biden Administration tried to give de facto amnesty to pandemic fraudsters – shielding them from criminal prosecution while sticking taxpayers with the bill.

The Trump SBA is working with DOJ and Treasury to compel repayment and hold pandemic fraudsters accountable under the law.

[Kelly Loeffler @SBA_Kelly]

In 2023, the Biden SBA issued a report identifying $200 billion in fraudulent PPP and COVID EIDL loans. Yet for all four years, they did almost nothing to hold fraudsters accountable.

If it weren’t for the @WHFraudTF, they might still be getting away with it.

[Bill Briggs @SBADeputy_Bill]

The @POTUS economic agenda of tax cuts, deregulation, fair trade, and energy dominance is working.

.@SBA_Kelly: "At the @SBAgov, we found $200B in fraudulent PPP loans that the Biden Administration tried to hide, and forgive, and sweep under the rug. We've turned the first $22B of that over to Treasury for collections, and to DOJ for prosecution."

[SBA @SBAgov]

Americans are a generous people. That generosity has been taken advantage of to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars – which is why this Administration is taking a stand.

[Kelly Loeffler @SBA_Kelly]

The Biden Administration knew that over 560,000 SBA borrowers owed the federal government a cumulative $22 billion in delinquent and suspected fraudulent PPP and EIDL loans, and did nothing to recover it.

With the help of @WHFraudTF, the Trump SBA is calling in the debt – to get every dollar back for American taxpayers.

[Kelly Loeffler @SBA_Kelly]

During the Biden Admin, PPP and EIDL became some of THE MOST defrauded federal programs in U.S. history – robbing honest small business owners and taxpayers of vital pandemic relief, to the tune of $200 billion.

Under the leadership of @POTUS, the SBA is delivering long-awaited accountability for every criminal fraudster that the last Administration tried to forgive or sweep under the rug.
