President Trump's Small Business Administration just delivered a crushing blow to pandemic fraudsters, freezing over 111,000 California borrowers connected to a staggering $8.6 billion in suspected COVID loan abuse. This sweeping crackdown targets rampant fraud in PPP and Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs that spiraled out of control during the Biden years.
The massive operation suspended 111,620 borrowers across California – exposing the Golden State as ground zero for pandemic relief scams that robbed hardworking Americans of resources meant for legitimate small businesses struggling during lockdowns.
Conservative commentator Sean Hannity highlighted the California connection, posting on social media: "CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN': SBA Freezes 111K California Borrowers After Flagging $8.6B in Suspected COVID-loan Fraud." The numbers tell a damning story of how liberal policies created a breeding ground for massive theft of taxpayer dollars.
"What's most damaging about this ongoing fraud is how it erodes trust and jeopardizes the American Dream for millions of hardworking Americans," noted political observer @GOsisike on social media.
This crackdown represents everything Trump promised – swift action against fraud, accountability for bad actors, and protection of taxpayer money. While the previous administration allowed billions to flow out the door with minimal oversight, Trump's team is now doing the hard work of cleaning up the mess.
California: America's Fraud Capital
The fact that California dominates this fraud investigation surprises absolutely no one who's been paying attention. The same state that can't manage its homeless crisis, energy grid, or basic governance apparently couldn't prevent massive fraud in federal relief programs either.
As one social media user noted, "The Trump administration announced a massive crackdown on COVID-era fraud in California, with the SBA suspending 111,620 borrowers connected to $8.6 billion in suspected PPP and EIDL abuse."
This is just the beginning, Patriots. When Trump promised to drain the swamp and hold fraudsters accountable, he meant every word. How many more billions will this administration recover that Democrats allowed to disappear?
