Congressman Jamie Raskin has been ordered to repay the federal government $304,000

Congressman Jamie Raskin has been ordered to repay the federal government $304,000 he took from the illegal student loan debt relief program for his daughter's tuition to Stanford.

"Mr. Raskin knew the program would be shot down," wrote 14th District Judge Joseph A Barron, "so he pushed his application through using his position."

Raskin's defense was that the program was perfectly legal when he took the money.
"That defense is summarily rejected."

The judge also noted that the Raskins are worth more than $14 million and shouldn't have qualified in the first place.
