Top Republicans on the House and Senate Small Business committees have accused a Biden administration agency of stonewalling congressional oversight efforts in connection with allegations that agency staff have engaged in electioneering on behalf of President Joe Biden, spending taxpayer dollars to benefit a particular political party and candidate.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas) issued a joint statement on May 15 alleging that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and its administrator, Isabella Casillas Guzman, have refused to comply with oversight-related document requests and committee investigations.
