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 Attorney’s 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.
