A group of senators is urging Attorney General William Barr to investigate the activities of dozens of Planned Parenthood affiliates for alleged misconduct after they received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans they were apparently not eligible for.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and 26 senators wrote to the Justice Department on Thursday expressing concern about reports that found Planned Parenthood affiliates had received millions of dollars in PPP loans aimed at small businesses and non-profits during the CCP virus pandemic.
