WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on May 13 said it has charged two more individuals for defrauding the U.S. government CCP virus bailout program: a Texas engineer and a star from the reality television show “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta”.

The small-business loan program, known as the Paycheck Protection Program, is part of an unprecedented $2.2 trillion CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus economic package meant to reimburse businesses and households for lost income due to shutdowns and stay-at-home orders. The United States filed its first criminal charges for defrauding the bailout program last week.
