Another Impeachable Offense: Trump Admin Used COVID-19 Loan Program to Bully Planned Parenthood
House Democrats are investigating whether a small business loan program was abused by the Trump administration to bully and lie to Planned Parenthood while rewarding supporters of the White House and Republican Party.

The inquiry is styled as a demand for documents which, the two New York City-based Democrats contend, suggest the Small Business Administration (SBA) attempted “to target local Planned Parenthood organizations” over their participation in the $659 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
According to Maloney and Velázquez, several local Planned Parenthood affiliates were told they need not apply—apparently in contradiction of the law.
“In May, SBA sent letters to numerous local Planned Parenthood organizations inaccurately informing them that they were ineligible for loans under the program due to their association with Planned Parenthood Federation of America,” said a letter released Thursday which detailed the document demands.
