The Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston, N.J., supported by the Kushner family for many years, was approved for a loan of between $1 million and $2 million just eight days after the program was created. The Yeezy limited-liability company, owned by billionaire musician and Trump acquaintance Kanye West, also borrowed between $2 million and $5 million.

Clay Lacy Aviation, which offered its private-jet-owning clients an account credit after taking a PPP loan, got between $5 million and $10 million. The company was one of at least four aviation-management firms that received both PPP loans and money from the Treasury Department's separate program for subsidizing airlines.

Washington’s influence industry — “the swamp,” in modern political lexicon — wasn’t excluded from a program that some of its members worked hard to shape.

Wiley Rein and APCO Worldwide each took loans between $5 million and $10 million, while Miller and Chevalier, which lobbies for McDonald’s, Bechtel and CVS Health — among other clients — borrowed in the $2 million to $5 million range. So did the National Trust for Historic Preservation, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s consulting firm, Albright Stonebridge, and the public affairs company DCI Group. The list of recipients includes dozens of lobbying shops, associations, government affairs consultants and think tanks.
