EXCLUSIVE: Small business leaders in Congress lambasted the Small Business Administration (SBA) one week before Election Day, accusing the agency of continuing to “stonewall” oversight into its widely-criticized work with Michigan’s elections department.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, chair of the House Small Business Committee, previously noted the SBA used a 2021 President Biden executive order on “promoting access to voting” to forge a “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) with the Michigan Department of State.
In March, the SBA announced its “first-ever” voter registration agreement with the Michigan agency. On May 7, Williams’ committee issued a rare subpoena for SBA aides after what the panel claimed was in part a failure to forward documents relating to a program “diverting [agency] resources away from assisting Main Street” toward partisan ends.
On Tuesday, Williams told Fox News Digital that with seven days to go, “the Biden-Harris SBA is still stonewalling our investigation into their partisan voter registration scheme.”
