Two Republican senators sent a letter to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to demand answers about why the Planned Parenthood Federation of America received more than $100 million in COVID-19 relief funds, which the lawmakers allege was “unlawful.”

Joni Ernst, who chairs the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, sent a letter to SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler to request documents and records related to Planned Parenthood’s receipt of fundingthrough the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
According to the letter, Planned Parenthood affiliates received about $120 million in PPP loans in 2020 and 2021.
Lawmakers have inquired about the funding for the past few years, though they reportedly did not receive the information from the previous administration.
