Republican leaders in the House and Senate Small Business committees promised to subpoena the Biden administration if it continues to ignore requests for documents from the Small Business Administration.

House Committee on Small Business Chairman Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, and Sen. Joni Ernst, the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship from Iowa, warned SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman they would compel her to produce documents on the SBA’s arrangement with Michigan to promote voting if she doesn’t comply with voluntary requests, KEYE reports.

“Over the course of the 118^th Congress, the SBA has consistently delayed the production of documents and failed to provide documents in response to both Committees’ requests,” the two wrote in a letter to Guzman on Monday. “Our Committees have an obligation to the American taxpayer to conduct diligent oversight.”

In April the House Committee requested a memorandum of agreement between the SBA and Michigan announced the month prior to use the state’s SBA sites for voter registration, which has drawn concerns from Republicans the effort is focused on reelecting President Joe Biden.

The Monday letter to Guzman came the same day the Republican National Committee, Michigan Republican Party, and former President Donald Trump’s campaign filed a lawsuit in U.S. District court against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and state and federal officials over the agreement, and another to use federal Veterans Affairs offices for voter registrations.

That lawsuit centers on a Dec. 18 directive from Whitmer to designate VA and SBA offices, as well as state offices with the departments of Health and Human Services, Military and Veterans Affairs, and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, as “voter registration agencies.”

“Under Michigan law, the authority to make such designations is held solely by the Legislature,” the lawsuit read.

Republicans since April have highlighted concerns Benson is targeting voter outreach through the federal agencies in predominantly Democratic areas of the state, and have expressed the same concerns about Benson’s youth voter outreach.

“The United States is built upon the principle of free and fair elections but the Biden administration seems to not care about upholding our democracy,” Michigan Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain told Fox News last week. “Instead, they’re using the taxpayer funded SBA to coordinate voter registration with Michigan’s Secretary of State.”

McClain was among all of Michigan’s Republican delegation to sign onto a letter to Benson last week led by Williams that pointed to 39 of 52 scheduled small business voter registration outreach events in Michigan set for “counties with the highest populations of demographics targeted by the Democratic National Committee.

“Additionally, 100 percent of the visits to Michigan from the SBA Administrator and Deputy Administrator have taken place in counties with the highest populations of DNC target demographics,” the letter read.

It also cited an undercover video of Guzman’s chief of staff in April explaining that a voter outreach event in Montana was purposefully designed to “indirectly campaign for Joe Biden.”

The video showed the chief of staff saying “anytime we go, we try to visit with a member of Congress if they’re a Democrat … because then we can help them get re-elected as well … the White House was like, yes, go. … Don’t invite the other senator because he’s a Republican. And don’t invite the two members of Congress because they’re Republicans.”

The letter contends Benson’s agreement with the SBA is an “apparent and blatant weaponization of taxpayer resources to aid and abet President Biden’s re-election campaign in the state of Michigan.”

Angela Benander described the Republican lawsuit as “divisive” and “partisan” when confronted by Michigan Advance, alleging Benson is simply “making it easier for veterans and small business owners in Michigan to register to vote.”

Whitmer spokesman Bobby Leddy told the news site the governor is reviewing the lawsuit.

SBA officials previously testified to Congress about the accusations of electioneering, but could not provide the answers lawmakers were looking for, Williams and Ernst wrote on Monday.

“Your Chief of Staff’s substantial lack of knowledge or recollection of major actions taken at the SBA is concerning,” the letter read. “Instead of providing answers to the House Committee’s key questions these interviews reiterated the need for documents.”

Williams and Ernst are now giving Guzman until July 29 to produce the MOU with Michigan, all SBA communications about it, all communications with third parties, and all reports to the White House to assess the program.

If that doesn’t happen, the letter read, “the House Committee will evaluate the use of compulsory process.”
