During a portion of an interview with NBC aired on Monday's edition of "NBC Nightly News," Department of Justice Inspector General and Chair of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee Michael Horowitz said he wasn't surprised at the speed with which fraudsters moved to obtain coronavirus assistance money, the way that the Small Business Administration distributed coronavirus assistance was "an invitation" for people who wanted to engage in fraud because the agency told people to "apply and sign and tell us that you're really entitled to the money," and that there weren't "even minimal checks" to ensure that the assistance money was being sent out to the right people.
