Lawmakers are pushing the Trump administration to name each company that received stimulus payouts from the government during the COVID-19 pandemic, amid concerns that business linked to members of Congress received money.

Over 4 million companies have received funds so far from the more than $513 billion dispersed through the Paycheck Protection Program. The program, known as PPP, was launched in April to help businesses stay afloat as governors across the country forced so-called non-essential ones to shut their doors.
