The husband of former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) allegedly bilked
taxpayers out of more than $20,000 in a COVID loan scheme and used the
money for his personal benefit and enjoyment, according to the DC US
Attorneys Office.
Cortney Merritts, 46, was charged in a federal indictment Thursday
with two counts of wire fraud related to allegedly fraudulent
applications he filed with the Small Business Administration in 2020
and 2021 that allowed him to collect and never repay government
funds from the pandemic-era Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program
(EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Merritts received an $8,500 EIDL loan from the SBA for his moving
business in July 2020 after certifying that his company, Vetted
Couriers, had six employees and generated $32,000 in gross revenue the
previous year, according to the indictment.
