FIRST ON FOX – The conservative group Job Creators Network filed a lawsuit Monday challenging President Biden’s student loan handout, which would eliminate $10,000 to $20,000 in debt for many borrowers at a taxpayer cost of $500 billion or more.
The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, argues that the plaintiffs were denied due process under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to object to the move during a comment period.
“The Department of Education has flagrantly violated the APA’s notice-and-comment requirements,” the complaint said. “Behind closed doors, the Department promulgated a new Debt Forgiveness Program that will affect tens of millions of Americans and cost hundreds of billions of dollars.”
