3 companies with ties to the Trump admin. received millions under the PPP program. Another got a loan from a bank that once employed its board's chair.

Hallador also shares a director in common with another loan recipient, Ramaco Resources, SEC filings show. Ramaco, a coal producer in Lexington, Kentucky, received $8.4 million under the loan program. Ramaco is one of the companies receiving PPP funds with a valuation of at least $100 million.Crawford United, a holding company based in Cleveland, Ohio, received a $3.7 million loan. Edward F. Crawford, a board member of the company since 2012, was sworn in as U.S. ambassador to Ireland last June.

The SEC filings analyzed by NBC News also show three related hotel property companies and one restaurant concern that received more than the $10 million maximum under the program. They did so by applying through subsidiary companies, which the rules do not prohibit. The parent company of Ruth's Chris Steakhouses received $20 million but announced Thursday it was returning the money.MiMedx Group, a maker of skin grafts that received $10 million, is trying to move forward after settling with federal investigators over its accounting and sales practices. Three weeks ago it agreed to pay $6.5 million to settle Justice Department accusations it had overcharged hospitals run by the Veterans Administration.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt during a hearing on Capitol Hill on April 26, 2018.Some merchants are hoping the government's second fund of $320 billion may reach more Main Street businesses. That's possible because the new program assigned $30 billion to small banks and community development financial institutions serving low- and moderate-income communities.

All I want is 6,600.00. But I don't have connections to the trump administration

You’re spreading lies!!! The banks are responsible!!! Chase is the worst bank needs oversight!

Trump for Trump and Only for Trump. In his mind all that matters is Trump

A man who knows how to manipulate the system. That’s why he won’t show Americans his taxes.

Drain the swamp

Tisk tisk

Why does that surprise you. Nothing is never done about it.

stayintouchDB If this doesn’t make you angry...you’re a trump supporter.

.... and who is supervising (providing oversight)? potus SpeakerPelosi senatemajldr

But no one with ties to ANY congressmen or ANY other person? Just Trump? Give me a break!!!! NBC!!!!

PRESIDENT CANCER AND REPUBLIKLANS AND THEIR RAPING AND FLEECING OF THE AMERICAN PPL AND SMALL AMERICAN BUSINESSES

Once again we see the me first mentally displayed by the president and his family. Not what is best for the country or the people , but me my family and friends. Just so they can make more money How much money is enough?

Makes no sense

Nice🥴

Not surprising. Be sure to do both sides of the aisle, tho, please. It's rampant. Remember fish hatcheries on Alaska for federal funding...for the floods in Houston.

Fake news.

Breaking: Trump personally doled out PPP loans, private banks had no oversight. 🤡🤡🤡🤪🤪🤪

But the gop sea nothing wrong with this or anything he does. Disgusting individuals, ALL of them

Someone see if Pelosi’s hotel in Napa Valley did. She’s worth hundreds of millions.

How about exposing all the ties Pelosi and Schumer have

where is NBCs outrage on Joe Biden sex allegations

America is not capitalist nor socialist , its the worst of both :Corporate socialism

So

Then go after the people listed, or atleast the one trump hasn’t fired yet

Make every last one of them give the money back!

And the 'blue states' should declare bankruptcy

I am still waiting for my check with his stinking name on it.

No wonde he fired the person who was to oversee this money !! Who is going to do something about this blatant crime?

NBC is fake news.

No one is more corrupt than Lying Don.

Wonder how many had ties to anyone in Congress?

Well so glad our president is watching out for ALL OF US! SenatorCollins so fair!!! Yes?

Pay to Play at its finest (or most corrupt in this case). But hey... we’re draining the swamp.

NBC = zerocredibilityanymore

Proof?

I see the way he cares about America TrumpGenocide

Everyday you manufacturer more fake news.

So I guess these companies have no employees. No reason to care about those people they work for a company related to Trump they must be evil and unworthy of getting assistance during this time. No it’s ok MSNBC those people I guess are not really people.

It's hard to keep track of a trillion dollars.

That’s a lot of spin

GOPSocialism Use the power of the state to divert our tax dollars to firms tied to Trump, instead of SmallBusinesses without ties to the ruling elite, aka GOPCorruption corruption.

Trump went to power to get Money and contrats for himself, everybody knew it. The ONLY thing we didnt know was how. and now we know, maybe just the tip of the iceberg. Is This NEW? Politicians might BE married but they re crooks might as well BE gay and honest😂

Of course...😂

So

《華嚴經》云:「假使百千劫,所造業不亡;因緣會遇時,果報還自受。」又古德曾云「善有善報,惡有惡報;不是不報,時辰未到。」又《易經》云:「積善之家,必有餘慶〈慶及家親眷屬〉;積不善之家,必有餘殃〈殃及家親眷屬〉。」又子曰:「千夫所指〈責〉,無疾〈病,因心理愧疚所致〉而終〈亡

PPP is a bad program for the wealthy connected

False story!,,,,again!

GOOD!!!

These companies also have ties to the LYING CORRUPT LIBERAL NBC NEWS. STFUENEMYOFTHEPEOPLE ...

How many former Obama officials got jobs after the Obama DOJ approved the Comcast acquisition of nbc. Let’s start with your General Counsel Kim Harris Or that David Cohen held fundraisers for Obama

They are all crooks. What did you expect? Heil Hitler not 'love thy neighbor.'

25, 2020: If the population of the US is under 400 million people. Why not send a stimulus check of a million dollars to each and every American. Wouldn’t that help every American better then trillions of dollars to corporate America.

Okay?

Normal. This is America, the country of 'OPPORTUNISTS' and NOT of opportunities.

😡

COVID did not only impact the left... CCPSuppositories

FakeNews

Trump's words, What do you have to lose? We'll see what happens.. AMERICA is watching .. Greed and corruption.. Republican approved..

This headline barely fits the story. Banks give loans on ability to pay back (hence, the word 'loan'). Folks, always remember NBC (Comcast) has huge financial ties to China.

Who is minding the store? Who is checking on Trump and his cronies?

Part 1 Part 2

Just here to see how many people didn’t read the article and get mad over the misleading summary/headline.

That's cool. Nothings going to happen just people crying, as they have been for the past 3 and a half years. Carry on.

And Trump’s loans with China, Russian money funneled thru Deutsche Bank, funds from the Saudis, emoluments from his properties...after trump loses in November and Biden becomes president, I hope he’ll devote resources to prosecuting the trump family, so they rot in jail.

Can they go just one day without being involved in a crime or improper behavior

Nothing shady here.

You guys have lied SOOO much. Why should we believe you now?

That’s wrong

And the GOP is complaining about TheDemocrats. Blame senatemajldr GOPLeader SenateGOP HouseGOP

Where there are humans there is greed. Our capacity to fuck each other over is quite extraordinary.

Bla bla bla fake news

Only 3y?

3 companies with ties to the Trump admin. received millions under the PPP program. Another got a loan from a bank that once employed its board's chair. 👍nice y not

This is a distraction from the trillions that went to big businesses at large and not to help THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

That's OK. If you have evidence of wrongdoing you should expose it. But guilt by innuendo isn't journalism.

We expect no less than graft and corruption from the Trump Adminstration.

Isn't this criminal?

And the congress does nothing.

I need a million dollar business loan , thank you. I'm a carpet cleaner I need a van and a truck mounted carpet cleaning machine

This should be fine. Obama funneled hundreds of millions to politically-connected companies like Solyndra, and to this day I'm told a tan suit was his only scandal

It's not like his son received $1.4B from China....

Nothing will come of this. Move on. Next scandal.

Of course

So what. They had to apply like everyone else. The man is worth 3 billion and you think he is immune to the financial loss? Again, NBC News failure. How about some reporting on creepy Ukraine Joe Biden and Tara Reade? All of Biden’s conflicts of interest are disqualifying.

NBC = zerocredibilityanymore

Whaaat? Stick that thumb where the sun don’t shine!

Follow the money 💰

Even Trump's resort/hotel properties have benefited.

You've got him THIS time. Great 'journalism'!

Now do members of Congress

There are plenty of companies with ties to Botox Nancy and the Democraps that received millions but I don't see any reports on those hmmmm biased?

No surprise

This is so disgusting

TStaples66 This is the Sh*t that enrages me. The rich fleecing is all while the common person stands in line at a food bank. GREED!

So what the people they employ are no different than any other American.

“With ties”? Isn’t the PPP to save companies from layoffs off workers. So if you work for any company “with ties” to trump Corp your supposed to be ineligible? What an insane report....

This is exactly what the people were very concerned about. We were told that Trump or The Trump family would not receive stimulus money in any way. Now we are told Firms with Trump links worth over 100 million received small business loans. I knew this snake would benefit.

Fake news

Stop with your fake news.

BTM829 CorruptTrump

There is no corruption too small or petty nor any too large and cruel that this administration will not gleefully, and cynically undertake.

And in the meantime IRStaxpros IRSnews has blocked stimulus checks from me & 10 million more, US Citizen tax payers, just for being married with an immigrant! washingtonpost nytimes Forbes politico CNN CBSNews ABC NC_Governor COVID19 StimulusChecks Quarantine

Enough of this corrupt pig

Can't spend those kickbacks at prison commissary.

They are companies in the US that employ Americans. They too deserve to get help from the government like every other company in the US. You are a very biased news agency. Your ignorance is showing.

So? That's what the stimulus packages are for. So Businesses stay afloat & we have jobs to go back to so we don't fall into a depression. Or are these loans & such only for businesses that don't know trump? Pretty stupid post.

Disgraceful!

So?

Fake news. What ties?

FakeNews strikes again

😡

This should come as no surprise. I just don’t understand how anyone with half a brain can still believe he’s capable of running this country! TrumpIsAnIdiot

Seriously, who wasn't waiting for this shoe to drop? Once a grifter...

SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff HouseDemocrats charges?

MalcolmNance Nothing but a CON game of GREED & DECEIT from the GOP and realDonaldTrump

No one. And I mean no one. Not even his supporters are surprised. They like it about him. So our defense is offense, vote in folks that will install campaign finance reform and term limits.

And whole bunch of morons out there protesting and putting a lot people at risk, just so his friends can get rich out all this. Stupid.

These stupid, Republican criminals don't even know how to hide their tracks.

What about Joe Biden ties with other countries? Where Hunter?

He chose the Chinese ones 🤣

, your own article refutes every business and “linked” person you imply influenced access to these funds. It’s almost like you want people to just read the headline, not read your content. Hm, shocking.

If they didn't meet the parameters, we need to look into that.

There should be large print on the PPP to help people know that they are not a small business.... if you have a board of directors.

And you are surprised! Really!

And this surprises who, exactly? Makes my skin crawl.

Trump's behaviors and actions are frightening enough. More frightening is the hard evidence that our federal government is powerless or unwilling to remove a lunatic from office with the consequence, the death of tens of thousands of Americans.

Oversight needed now.

I'm not surprised!

execute them !

What about Trumps 2020 campaign app that received a $2.85 million loan from PPP? Why is government money going towards his campaign and not the suffering American people?

Corruption, it pays.

Abc

Surprised ? Really ?

ltanner70 Par for the course ⛳️

Who cares! Trump is a businessman with ties to a lot of businesses. You should be checking out Nancy Pelosi’s mafia ties. You “people” are sick

ArnoldBijouxbym Are there still people who believe Trump has no intentions of enriching himself, his family and his cronies, while in office?

Jail

MOTHERFUCKER.That's all my appalled brain can think. Hail this, this...oh too pissed..

amanborn59 No surprise here.

The majority of Trump supporters are middle and lower class people that are getting screwed over the most by inequitable policies.Trumps racist views supersede all. History will have a good laugh at their expense,but it’s not funny.

Biden got a prosecuting attorney removed from a foreign nation by using fraud to do so...TO PROTECT HIS DRUG ADDICTED SON. SHUTUP!

This is not acceptable.

realDonaldTrump

JohnCornyn tedcruz DanCrenshawTX Where is your righteous indignation?

GrifterInChief and Friends in action again. Shameful!!

Who approves the loans? Trump is surrounded by business people at all times. It goes without saying that someone will be connected to something at some point or another.

How is it the WH can spend 345 billion in 2 weeks, can't answer where it went but has been unable to provide a damn mask to a nurse in 4 months? tedlieu

MrsOrwell0625 So this is why he is not acting and has not acted in the best interests of the American people amid this national medical emergency. Follow the money.

Trx1000 I see he can rest his arms which are always crossed in his stomach these days Crossed arms usually mean I won’t listen and take in information from others right Close minded

MalcolmNance He is just chaotic. Labradoodle breeder for pandemic czar=equine breeder for Katrina FEMA. What is next? Cockroach breeder for economic response?

GOPCrimeSyndicate

the only way we can get Trump off the podium and allow the doctors to speak so we can learn something valuable is to Not show up at the press conferences if no one shows he’ll sit down and be quiet MuteTrumpPressConference

KingTinyHands Aka realDonaldTrump is continuing his FleecingAmerica He isn’t President to help this country l, he wanted presidency to save his bankrupt self. I’m certain he’s got the cash now

When Trump said he would choose who was getting the money, he wasn’t kidding.

Are you mental? Please show proof that he is linked to any of this? A billionaire businessman has ties to other businesses. Shocker. How about report how Harvard took advantage of this. Your network is garbage.

Of course they did.

Trump and his cronies have used the Covid_19 PPP as a looting of the treasury before their cash cow realDonaldTrump gets booted from office.

pulte TeamPulte help! 🙏🏻💜

The greed in politics is astounding and it will never change....🤬🤬🤬🖕🖕

What kind of ties? I hope they are close enough to clean out these scumbags once and for all.

It just never stops

yvonne_erdmann

rufat_zeynalli stupid article. what is the point of being president if you cant feed your companies ?! Cause you already sacrificing billions for country by not spending enough time on running your own business

Greed at work.

Fixated on how orange his face is compared to his corpse-white hand. Also how bad he is at this job. AmateurHour

Would love to see propublica coverage of this self-dealing.. They have great investigative journalists.

MalcolmNance This is why the democrats wanted neutral overseeing

Still committing crimes, he'll never learn. smh

Not surprising

Kennedy Center? Planned parenthood?

KagroX The grift continues as Republicans cover their eyes and ears..

What is this all about?

His Chinese loan payment came due and he had to pay it somehow.

Who didn’t know this was going to happen? And they aren’t loans...believe me.

No way! Shocking! 😱 And media will stop pursuing this story in 3...2...

I can imagine a mining co. like Hallador needs to give their people money if closed during this time and BK Technologies Inc employees 111 making radios for 1st responders. That they see a need to take care of their people is admirable isn't it? My freind in Bellaire is with 7.

Keep pointing these abuses out, small business owners, like myself, are suffering while still waiting for a response while realDonaldTrump , his friends, business associates and family members are getting millions

realDonaldTrump any company that is publicly traded should not be eligible. Companies thst are traded on Wall Street can sell stocks to raise money unlike true small businesses and just and importantly 1099 workers.

Fuck...but on this one I blame Pelosi & Team bc THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN TRUMP WOULD LET HIS BUDDIES GET AWAY WITH WHATEVER THE RULES ALLOWED!

Drain the swamp? Hell he just brought in his own snakes

So in other words nothing change and nothing was done to ensure the mom and pop stores that needed it got it.. so much for trump helping the small people

But Hunter, but her emails.

Read the story, the connections to Trump are so thin. What a joke. NBC News should be ashamed of this blatant political bs.

Sickening 👩🏼

IrishDeDe LeeChatfield

I’m shocked. Trumpers will call this a “good business move”

I am closing my business because the banks ran out of money. I understand the reason why, thanks for the update NBC.... 50 people directly involved are without income and I don't know how many more will also be affected, while Trump's friends are shelter by Donald.

My sister and my cousin, both SMALL business people, received funds from the first round. What’s the likelihood of that if huge businesses were truly scooping it ALL up We want hotels to survive. We want oil companies to survive.

No, you’re just being sarcastic right?

I wonder if he'll write himself a mean tweet and ask himself to return it.

Trump gives millions from the PPP program to his cronies. Meanwhile, McConnell wants blue states to go bankrupt.

Biden: Invest $500 million in a 3-yr (DOD) military spouse entrepreneurship pilot program, which will provide micro-grants, mentorship and technical assistance to military spouses who are interested in starting or growing small businesses Biden military VoteBlue2020 lovethis

These things happen in a dictatorship.

Of course they did.

He's a businessman first and foremost so what did you expect

... stop acting so surprised... why do you think trump fought so hard for NO CHECKS AND BALANCES... the public needs to recognize these scam artists and stop buying their products...

MalcolmNance America needs a new word. Official corruption at this level of sophistication deserves a special word to distinguish it from everything else. Maybe mash together trump and theft to call it “treft”.

brian4NY Is anyone keeping track of all of these illegal ties to the admin?

I keep telling y'all that it all makes sense once you realize that 'Swamp' is Trump's code word for TREASURY.

I gladly voted for Hillary Clinton

Stephanie, you called it weeks ago with the 1st monies out the door. Anyone that thinks that money didn't go to admin cronies is out of their damn minds. They should have a toast with glasses of Clorox, I'll provide the shot glasses.

You guys seem to forget; this is a Billionaire (on paper) as a sitting President....USA never gave something for a disaster....there had to be an underlying clause in the first place. Trumps Creditors care little about CD-19 and want their money too. P O D (paid on delivery)

Jared is off counting the money

This is why he fired the appointed overseer. So things can go unmonitored

Corruption

Terrible. The small businesses that needed it most couldn’t.

Is this ok with all of the protestors who say they can’t put a meal on the table or pay their rent? TRUMP=CORRUPTION

Oh please so did Obama's friends, senators friends as well. Can you do some real reporting? So tired of this news.

Surprise, Surprise!! Nixon had NOTHING on realDonaldTrump , the CrookInChief.

And are we surprised? We all knew that, without getting proof. It's how he and the Republicans are... don't give a shit about anyone but their own pockets

Investigate every member of Congress with ties to these companies too! You’ll find more reason to report than just our President who has done better than any leader in the world.

Trump is taking care of his friends first and us last.

The corruption just never ends.

SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff SenSchumer JoeBiden DNC TomPerez

It doesn't even list the companies they are referring to? Am I missing something? What constitutes a small buisness?

Say it ain’t so, say it ain’t so!!!!

hughhewitt is all for conservative greed and graft by realDonaldTrump

maddow

Nice 👌, anyways congress don't cares, they all like mafia.

Again despicable disgusting depraved trump making financial profit on the pain & suffering of the American people who are sick with COVID 19.

It's called PROFITEERS greasing up the PROFITEERS rest u shit outa luck...don't think for one second the democratic big wigs not getting a cut .. Nancy palosi still there why?does any one wants nana to squeel how politics is being done in DC behind close doors

CharlesMBlow Thanks Mitch.

Trump and his cronies,did very well with the P PP. No surprise for this corrupt president.

Trump is stealing taxpayer money and blocking oversight. Is anyone surprised?

So many business did not get served. My bank stopped even taking applications

Here’s a little secret for liberals, if large businesses go under, they’ll take the small with them

Shocker.

MalcolmNance Trump/GOP corruption, will never stop,unless we stop it,so removal of Trump & his flunkeys without a doubt will b voted out,& others run out of government,these greedy Swamp leeches must be flushed out of the government system & off taxpayers payroll, save trillions, n GOP waste.

How many pikachu shocked faced gifs will this spawn?

NBC is a voice for leftist extremist. NBC always Fake News,

CORRUPTION

acyork1887 Why do we always find out after the fact?

Hummmmm.

CriminalInChief

This should make for some good questions at today's press briefing, that's if our Loser-In-Chief takes any questions.....

NBC is affiliated with many wealthy people and businesses that are all on the left of the political spectrum, so you fabricate stories to smear Trump because those who invest in your garbage doesn’t like the POTUS.

So you “think” they might know one another so you’ll use it to try and smear the President, except you look more like a hack than reporter.

Are the small businesses with under 500 employees ? If so they are qualified to get the money and I’m glad they will keep paying their employees.

But her emails TheMediaIsFailingAmerica

This is what happens when you have a sociopath with no shame as president. He doesn't care if things look shady, so he does them. Any normal person would be concerned about the optics.

CharlesMBlow He's only in it for the money. Anyone checking on slithery, slimy, lurk in the shadow favors for Jared's family and pals?

Well this goes to prove we have become a third rate corrupt country boarder on a dictatorship

Expected. Truth VoteBlueNoMatterWho

No surprises here. When will this robbery stop?!?!

realDonaldTrump is the swamp. DrainTheSwamp Biden2020

told you all Trump would make a killing in this somehow

Fakest news, enemy of the American people

I just lost my breakfast after reading this. Is there nothing this administration can do correctly. It’s obvious this program was intentionally abused.

Did anybody honestly think that there wasn't going to be a lot of corruption in this bailout? Now it shows why Trump wanted to over see the bailout himself and inform Congress what he wants them to know nothing else.

Trump Republicans small business loan program is a complete failure.

Trump Grifters inc. hard at work.

Trump business friends and donors benefiting from the PPP program. Probably had insider info on banks and timing. Absolutely disgusting and unfair to other small businesses in need. Investigation should be started.

This is so wrong on so many levels

Are you surprised, this is a corrupt family , there only interest is money, not the country not the people

And yet don’t help the states or the USPS just threaten them. Because he is so hateful and jealous of Amazon. realDonaldTrump he is a hateful revengeful man. TheDemocrats SenateDems HouseDemocrats GOP

😂 “ties” ok

NBC is garbage

Who cares. If they meet the criteria they should. He has nothing to do with his businesses

And?

REACHING Honestly. Report some news FFS.

Big Surprise🎉🎉🎉🎉

It’s called Corruption!

Now do the entire Legislative Branch.

Twandathelight FAILED PRESIDENCY AND GOP A 25 STAT STAT STAT

Wow. This sounds like fake news. No names no sources no ties to trump mentioned in the article.

I wonder how many companies linked to lifelong senators and congressmen got the money... Trump is a lifelong business man and, if true, absolutely nothing illegal about it in the poorly written stimulus bill.

Have you investigated the video of Tara Reade’s mother yet?

MalcolmNance I got nothing. This sucks.

Now do harvard

Let’s dig into how many business that BarackObama has ties to got loans !

But they were asking colleges and businesses to give back money how about them what a hypocrite all about the top percent the students and small business postal carriers healthcare and grocery store workers first responders police all the rest essential workers get nothing really

I’m sure realDonaldTrump was the one who approved them. 🥺

UROCKlive1 Of course. But zero penalties. Criminal President

MalcolmNance Kick backs are coming ! The good old Mob is called the Republican now !

Really weird especially when facts do not support this

You shouldn’t comment on this if you didn’t read the article. The headline is misleading and the article is a big nothing burger.

Yes, there is cronies in every aspect of the world.

Indirectly or directly, Trump policies benefit the Trump orbit. Wake up America, the swamp is full of new species.

MalcolmNance SRuhle

GOPSocialism. Use the power of state to divert our tax dollars to firms tied to the president, rather than small businesses needing the money to survive. Aka GOPCorruption. SenateGOP refuses to allow oversight to stop this corruption

Awesome sauce

MalcolmNance well, who'd have thought this would happen

WAKE Up America !!!!

Now do pelosi

You gonna report on all the companies with ties to Dems too

MalcolmNance Where is the oversight?

The guy who was Trump's finance chairman 4 years ago also used to be the CEO of MiMedx, a maker of skin grafts that received $10m loan under this program... To claim “ties to the Trump admin.” like that should disqualify them from the loan is kinda far fetched.

youmustchange dRUmf is a convicted fraud and there's this

MalcolmNance What did we expect from this Republican grifter?

The media are scumbags

Trump's ambassador to Germany, worked as a consultant for Flotek, an energy services company in Houston, 3yrs ago.🤷🏻‍♀️ So because this company employed someone 3yrs ago who now “works for Trump” that’s means they should be disqualified from the loan? 🙄Totally misleading headline.

MalcolmNance Thanks again to senrobportman for enabling this. 50,000 Americans dead. President is using the funds to help businesses as a piggy bank to pay his friends and fund his campaign.

With the level of corruption in this administration that does not surprise me. It does make me exceedingly sad for all the mom and pop shops that are being shut down due to this financial crisis. I hate having a mob boss in the office!!

MalcolmNance We used to call this 'the good ol' boy' system, and obviously, it's alive and well. [==*==]

Why should that shock anyone?

MalcolmNance

CharlesMBlow No Shit ! 🙄And no one will do a thing about it! TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpIsALoser TrumpIsCorrupt DisinfectantDonnie is going to get us all killed.

CharlesMBlow You knew this was going to happen.

CharlesMBlow SpeakerPelosi VictorBlackwell WhipClyburn JohnKingCNN gtconway3d mehdirhasan washingtonpost nytimes AOC KamalaHarris

Sounds just like democrats

So did Pelosi's arts centers donors. She wrote it, he signed it.

CharlesMBlow Why the surprise? Trump fought against oversight. And he believes that the stock market drives the economy. So there’s no need for this process to benefit small businesses.

And how many companies with ties to demcorats got money?

Raise the disinfectant in your hands and toast the president.

Sooner or later Truth will come out who is getting funds & who are denied. Folks are still waiting for stimulus check. As not many file direct on line but they may be retired their monthly SSI payment goes to their bank.

No surprise here!

This is a garbage article. Did some companies get money from PPP that shouldn't? Sure. And they'll be delt with. Doesn't mean Trump had anything to do with it. Some people in his admin once had ties to a few companies? That isn't news, nor is it shocking. FakeNews

Aren’t ALL businesses entitled? Just asking. And to what extent to Trump. Come on people

WHY DO THE REPUBLICANS LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS BS He does what he wants and it will be worse if he is re-elected

TDS. We are sooo tired of your hate.

I’m Sure they will have to give it back just like Harvard and Ruth’s Chris Steak house.

Trump, Mnuchin, McConnell, & the rest of the GOPCesspool have stolen money from the pockets of your dry cleaner, convenience store, local gym, bakery, & all the other small businesses that had to close. November can't come fast enough. GrifterInChief

Not surprised. McConnell & the GOPCesspool tried to get $500M to use for a Trump slush fund. Schumer & the Democrats stopped them. Munchin had no choice but to steal money from somewhere. Shake Shack gave theirs back. The others should as well....voluntarily.

More fake news brought to you by NBC...

This is just more proof that Trump and the Republicans are making millions and millions of dollars off the incentive money! The only way we can spoil this for them is to demand a total accounting of where each dollar went. WE SHOULD ASK FOR A TASK FORCE TO LOOK INTO IMPEACHMENT!

Reparations for African Americans

The “links” are so remote and tenuous that I was expecting to see Kevin Bacon’s name somewhere in this article.

There u go!!!! EVIDENCES!!!!!

Corona was a torrent of deadliness among the fallen peeps/The Leader was a confused galleon tossed upon clueless seas/The road was a ribbon of bloodiness over the funerary moor/And the highwaymen came riding—riding—riding—/The highwaymen came riding, up to the old treasury door

Was the stimulus supposed to exempt anyone who ever did business with the president? How about congress? Should anyone with ties to congress be exempt from help? Where does THAT end? Propaganda

Say it isn’t so. A business man who knows business? BTW-Are you owned by China?

What is the kick back for Trump family?

Trump finds ways to cheat and steal wherever he is.

And we are surprised why!

I don't want to hear fake news

There's probably plenty of Trump fraud going on that has yet to be discovered under the PPP program

This is Trumpnomics! This is America! And this is Trumps America- the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer an immortal American principle! Corruption? Only in Ukraine? Corruption? Only in Russia? Only in China? Corruption is a universal human being ultimate principle!

Bigly Mistake

And my bussiness sits here as every penny at loss

trump and his admin are corrupt and are stealing money.

That would be on Congress and the banks. 😳🤦‍♀️🙄

This needs to be Investigated Now!!

NBC, CRIME! Hahahahaha

Well, Well, Well Look What We Have Here! NBC a Propaganda Arm of the DNC

any proof like paper work ?

Of the $349 BILLION ... sit down for this ... 'analysis shows three companies with ties to the Trump administration received a total of $18.3 million' And the definition of 'ties' is laughable. Jesus, do you seriously wonder why the people hate the media? CarmineSabia

The Dems, porked up that bill not 45. Blame them!

Is anyone surprised?

Where are the “watchdogs” or whoever is responsible for oversight of this taxpayer money?

And thats surprising because....?

Any affiliation to the DNC survey firms hired by blue states to track covid patients?

I wonder why?

No kidding☠️🤑

Worst and most unethical President ever. smh.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Pipe down fake news

3 companies out of the how many million that received aid? Cancerous DNC shills.

HE IS THE SWAMP

Full of 'onces' and 'had worked'...irrelevant

They need to return every single red cent... PPPFail

Not surprised

So

Stop your fake news. People are sick of you.

Quit making this political. Plenty of Dem bottom feeders went after money as well. Its the big banks who have blood on their hands

Who The Fuck Surprised? Lmao.

Drain the swamp and go work in the White House

So?

Not.true

trump & co found another way to rip off the American people. shameless

Go figure

The banks who did this should be held accountable. It's their fault.

They will pay it back.

LOL Read the article. Which one of those former associates who no longer have any ties to the company in question handed Trump the money? Can we say Tenuous? muted

What are the odds? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

How many loans were approved under the program? In excess of 1.6mm And you wonder why they call the MSM fake news.

So so so wrong ! ! !

And Harvard got 9 million dollars from the pandemic fund thanks to Harvard Alum Chuck Schumer, Harvard Alum Adam Schiff, Harvard Alum Husband of Nancy Pelosi even though they had a 40 billion endowment

What did anyone expect. He is spoiled. His friends are spoiled.

And what about Harvard University? Tell us the story!

So?

This is shocking, said no one ever. Grifters gonna grift. EmolumentsClause Any new info about IMPOTUS Bank of China debt?

This dude who knew Munchin, worked for a company that was a vendor of a company that once purchased diapers from this other company that made cat food. The cat food was eaten by the cat of another person on the Trump admin and that company received some money from the bailout.

It’s unfair to tie any of the lending directly to a govt official including Trump. The banks are responsible for processing these loans on behalf of SBA. It’s an absolute shame that true non-small biz exploited this with bank help on this. Lets be glad they get exposed one by one

The money needs to be returned and fines issued.

Doesn’t sound like small business loans to me if they have any ties to Trump!

Impeach !!! 😁😁🤣🤣🤡

It all comes down to voting him out in November or win Senate.

He said the rich weren't getting anything. What a liar.

This is why Trump wants no oversight

It just goes on and on!

The last time a preaident was this cpurrupt and pro business over the American ppl he was shot and killed his name qas mckinly. Not saying someone should do somrhing to the president but if the next elections dont stop him idk of ppl might take matters into their own hands.

So?

I'll bet they were at the WH kissing the ring w the pillow man.

Funny how the comments here defending him doesn’t dispute that these companies made off bigly.

And Biden’s son was on the board of a foreign oil company. If one isn’t deemed wrong than neither should the other. OneStandard

Now do Hollywood

come on now what in the fuck is it going to take 🙄 November2020 can’t come fast enough..geeze

How about you tell us more about how Pelosi and Biden and their sons are making their money overseas? Oh right. Doesn't fit your narrative.

Every day I think....wow...MSM is reaching and desperate..and every day, I am amazed by just how much...pathetic

Scumbag

Keep reaching, Desperate liberal media.

sullysfca The way crooked bastards work

Obama gave a grant to a publishing company then said publishing company published his book 🤔

The media sucks and we love President Trump!

The dirt just piles up

This doesn’t surprise me, you?

So they're robbing in broad daylight now too? Didn't see that coming
