Pandemic-relief / PPP-EIDL role

As General Counsel, Badejo was the Subcommittee's senior in-house legal officer during the early phase of its work. Her White House Associate Counsel tenure (through June 2022) and Palantir start (June 2022) place her departure from direct Subcommittee staff well before the December 1, 2022 fintech-fraud staff report, "We Are Not the Fraud Police." The report is an instrument of the Subcommittee's majority staff, and her institutional GC role is distinct from authorship of that document. (Report: House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, majority staff, Dec. 1, 2022.)
