Blumenthal Statement Regarding Trump Administration Release of PPP Data

(HARTFORD, CT) – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) released the following statement after the Trump administration released long awaited data regarding the Paycheck Protection Program:

“This data— long-overdue— raises increasingly serious questions about possible misallocation of PPP funds. I’ll be closely scrutinizing the list and seeking investigation of any misguided decisions, favoritism or wrongdoing. Small businesses in desperate need of funding simply had less access than larger companies. I’ll be asking for more information from U.S. Treasury officials to answer tough questions and assure all Connecticut businesses, especially smaller ones, are treated fairly. We must learn from the mistakes.”
