US states opposing student loan forgiveness made false claims, files reveal

Republican states fighting Joe Biden’s plan said they’d be financially impacted by the scheme, debt forgiveness group claims

Newly uncovered documents show that the Republican states fighting Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan have made false claims that they will “suffer injuries”, or rather, be financially impacted by the scheme, a debt forgiveness campaign group has claimed.

The supreme court case, called Nebraska v Biden, that will decide the fate of Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan rests on one of the plaintiffs, Missouri’s state attorney general, who claims MOHELA – the Higher Education Loan Authority of the State of Missouri – will financially impact his state for the worse.
