VP JD Vance claims Biden administration officials were fully aware of widespread fraud in the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) but failed to act.

"Of course they knew! It was an OPEN SECRET!" Vance said, adding that state governors, the Small Business Administration, and senators in 2022-2023 all knew the program was "rife with fraud."

Vance alleges people were "skimming off the top" while the federal government did nothing to intervene. He's now calling for criminal accountability: "It's time to start LOCKING UP complicit government officials who knew and LET IT HAPPEN."

The PPP, launched during COVID-19, distributed hundreds of billions in forgivable loans—but has faced years of scrutiny over abuse and oversight failures.
