Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said large chain restaurants shouldn’t have received money under the government’s small-business aid scheme.

Large restaurant chains have faced backlash after receiving more than $80 million in COVID-19 relief loans intended for small businesses, while the total amount of $349 billion under the stimulus program ran out last week.
