Appeals Court Blocks Chutkan, Lets Zeldin Freeze Biden’s $20B

Go to Article

The DC Circuit just hit pause on Judge Chutkan’s order.

It would’ve forced Citibank to hand over $20 billion in EPA funds to “green nonprofits.”

(Nothing says ‘nonprofit’ like getting handed billions, right?)

The panel sided with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.

So, Chutkan tried to rush the payout to eight climate groups by Thursday, basically saying ‘give these climate grifters all the billions!!’

But the court said: ah-ah-ah, not so fast.

For now, the billions stay out of their hands.

Poor grifters, how will they get all the billions now?

The Hill reports:

A federal judge on Wednesday indefinitely blocked the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from clawing back billions of dollars in Biden-era climate grants.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the EPA may not suspend or terminate the green grant awards nor limit access to those funds while a lawsuit challenging the effort to recoup the money moves forward.

She also ordered Citibank, which received the funds but refused to disburse them at the government’s request, to unfreeze the climate groups’ funds.

However, Chutkan directed Citibank to refrain from releasing any funds until Thursday afternoon. After that, the groups will be able to use that money to finance climate-friendly projects.

The administration has already appealed her decision, which she said would be explained in a forthcoming memorandum.

Through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, the EPA was given $20 billion for grants to financial institutions to fund climate-friendly projects.

The “climate-friendly” grift needs to end.

And as for the EPA…now where have I heard that name before?

Oh, yeah. Project Veritas did an undercover report about them.

Over 35 million people have seen this clip, and Judge Chutkan is still supporting the EPA?
