These borrowers were lied to, ripped off, and saddled with mountains of debt. While my predecessor looked the other way when colleges defrauded students and borrowers – I promised to take this on directly, and provide borrowers with the relief they need and deserve. Already under my Administration, we’ve approved $14.7 billion in…
