One letter signed by 27 senators asked the DOJ to expand its investigation into Planned Parenthood's dealings with harvested fetal tissue. The other letter, signed by 28 senators, asks Treasury Department Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery Brian D. Miller to investigate how Planned Parenthood affiliates received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds meant for small businesses under the CARES Act.
"We urge you to investigate not only the extent to which Planned Parenthood was involved in the sale of fetal tissue, but also the disturbing descriptions by Planned Parenthood workers of infants born alive who were left to die or killed through organ harvesting," reads part of the letter sent to the DOJ.
This follows videos released by David Daleiden and The Center for Medical Progress which show invoices for individual fetal body parts and testimony from Planned Parenthood employees talking about their fetal harvesting policies under oath.
"Planned Parenthood's defrauding of $80 million from the PPP loan program shows criminality in the abortion industry will spread until they face justice under the law," Daleiden told Fox News. "After multiple Congressional criminal referrals, admissions on forensically authenticated undercover video and sworn deposition testimony ... the evidence demands beyond any reasonable doubt that Planned Parenthood and their business associates be held accountable for targeting vulnerable patients and selling their infant children like a commodity."
The letter U.S. senators sent to the Treasury Department asks for "a thorough investigation of all PPP loans applied for and received by any Planned Parenthood affiliate, to determine how those affiliates were able to obtain PPP loans, and if any of their applications were submitted with information that was known or should have been known to be false, and make any civil or criminal referrals that you deem necessary and proper."
