3News Investigates: Millions in COVID relief funds lost to fraud in Northern Ohio

In our latest edition of 3News Investigates, we look at the billions of dollars earmarked to help small businesses and workers survive the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns that were lost to fraud almost as soon as the government programs were first announced in 2020. Exactly how many billions lost isn't known, a fact that critics say illustrates the persistent disfunction spewing in Washington.

"The systems to prevent money from being wasted are simply not there in federal government." Marisa Saenz and Phil Trexler report: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/inv...
