The Biden Administration shoved the $4.9 billion federal loan guarantee through at the eleventh hour because they knew it was illegal and immoral. It\u2019s time to defund the Grain Belt Express once and for all,\u201d Senator Hawley said.\n\nFor years, Senator Hawley has been working to defund the Grain Belt Express and protect Missourians\u2019 land.
