Sen. Joni Ernst said internal Small Business Administration emails and meeting titles used the word “Benghazi” in discussions involving Paycheck Protection Program loans to Planned Parenthood affiliates, and she asked the Justice Department to investigate whether any federal records laws were violated. The allegation, first reported by The Daily Wire, comes amid a broader, long-running dispute over whether those affiliates were eligible for PPP aid and how the agency handled loan forgiveness.
