Actions taken by Republicans during the final days of the Trump administration are under investigation by Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery Brian Miller, Bloomberg News reported Monday.

"A federal watchdog is looking into former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's decision to roll back the U.S. Federal Reserve's emergency lending programs at the end of 2020, an issue that has become a point of partisan tension in Congress. The Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery is also inquiring into Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz's role in persuading the central bank to expand the eligibility rules for the Main Street Lending Program to make it easier for oil and gas companies to apply for the low interest rate loans," Bloomberg reported.

The existence of the investigations was revealed in the Special Inspector General's quarterly report.
