President Donald Trump on April 21 accused Harvard University of “taking” funds from the federal government’s CCP virus relief package, and requested that the institution return the money.

The president said the Ivy League college, which is rated the wealthiest university in the world, took stimulus money intended to benefit small businesses under the CARES Act’s Paycheck Protection Program, and demanded it pay back nearly $9 million.
