Convicted murderers, sex traffickers received COVID stimulus checks while in prison, court docs show
Fox News
The federal government is suing convicted murderers and sex traffickers who received COVID-19 stimulus checks under the American Rescue Plan, which was signed by President Biden last March.
Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, offered an amendment on the floor at the time to block checks from prisoners, but it failed on a party-line vote, 49-50. The previous coronavirus relief bills also lacked any language barring imprisoned felons from receiving stimulus payments.
