Student loan handout: New lawsuit says Biden didn't follow administrative procedures
Fox News
President Biden's student loan handout is facing another legal challenge, this time arguing that the administration didn't follow a key administrative law.
"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." Democrat politicians and liberal groups pressured President Biden to forgive student loan debt for more than a year before the president finally announced he was doing so in August.

Alleged failure to follow APA was often used by opponents of former President Trump's administration to slow or block Trump's executive actions.
