WASHINGTON — The Trump Administration amped up its propaganda war to discredit Minnesota state government by rehashing old news about fraud in the Feeding Our Future pandemic rescue programs of 2021. Trump’s chief of the Small Business Administration, Kelly Loeffler, issued a news release that SBA recently discovered fraud in the Paycheck Protection and in Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs. The funds, Loeffler said, were in grants to individuals connected to Feeding Our Future pandemic fraud schemes. Already 87 individuals have been indicted for the frauds. So what’s new? It appears that that Trump’s SBA is four years late in its “discovery.” The Loeffler news release joined a Trump call to federal agencies to generate as much news as possible to disparage Minnesota state agencies as negligent in administering federal programs.
