Former USDA leaders deny a whistleblower's claim that the Biden administration secretly discriminated against white farmers when it came to loan forgiveness.
A USDA employee told NewsNation that the agency, while under Biden, radically profiled farmers and only forgave loans of minority borrower.
'It was to pay off anyone who wasn't a white male's loan,' the whistleblower said. 'That was the only qualification for this loan forgiveness.
'They were trying to keep this hushed because of the obvious implications of race-based loan forgiveness.'
Under the American Rescue Plan Act, the government was allowed to pay up to 120 percent of the outstanding debt of 'each socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher,' NewsNation found.
Socially disadvantaged farmers were defined as various minorities. However, the policy was later deemed unconstitutional and replaced by a new law, Inflation Reduction Act.
Previously eligible minority farmers were then emailed about obtaining loan forgiveness under the new legislation. However, white farmers who were not eligible under the old act, did not receive the same communication.
Scott Marlow, who lead on the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act Section 22006, told DailyMail.com the whistleblower claims are 'absurd' and 'inflated.'
