Twitter on Tuesday fact-checked a tweet from Sen. Elizabeth Warren in which she made claims that President Joe Biden has the authority to cancel student debt.
"... the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in October temporarily blocked the student loan forgiveness program in response to an emergency motion …," the post read.Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 for others who borrowed using federal student loans is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $400 billion.
ARKANSAS AG LESLIE RUTLEDGE ON BIDEN'S STUDENT LOAN HANDOUT: ‘ILLEGAL AND UNLAWFUL ACTIONS SINCE DAY 1’ Several legal challenges have been filed in courts across the country since the administration’s announcement, looking to thwart the president’s plan. A federal judge in Texas shot down Biden’s plan last Thursday in a case brought on by the Job Creators Network Foundation.
The foundation filed the suit in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas, arguing they were denied due process to object to the move during a comment period."Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine," U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman wrote last week.
