Husband of former congresswoman Cori Bush charged with wire fraud
|
[WaPo via MSN] The husband of former congresswoman Cori Bush (D-Missouri) has been charged in connection with more than $20,000 in payments from the pandemic-era Paycheck Protection and Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs, according to an indictment filed in D.C. federal court on Thursday.
| All sorts of interesting people have been caught in this particular trap, and are finding themselves taken off the board. Despite the expense, it may well turn out to have been a worthwhile investment in cleansing the body politic, now that President Trump’s team have taken charge. |
Cortney Merritts, 46, faces two counts of wire fraud for allegedly filing sham applications in 2020 and 2021 with the Small Business Administration, enabling him to collect money aimed at helping struggling businesses make payroll during the pandemic.
The indictment was signed by Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney for D.C., whom Trump has nominated to serve as the permanent top prosecutor in the nation’s capital. The investigation into Merritts appears to have begun during the Biden administration.
An attorney for Merritts said he plans to plead not guilty.
