Trump Administration Targets $20 Billion Climate Fund

Go to Article

Did they think they’d get away with it?

Well, the Trump administration is scrutinizing a $20 billion climate fund created during the Biden era.

I bet those tied to it were crossing their fingers, hoping Trump’s team wouldn’t notice.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has frozen the funds and started investigations into the recipients.

Some of which were newly established and linked to prominent Democrats. ​

What a surprise.

Are we seeing the beginning of the end to the Green Grift, the climate hoax?

Critics argue this move could hinder environmental.

In fact, they’d probably have us believe that the world will enter an ice age tomorrow! (you know, like in that one movie, Ice Age 3) if we don’t keep sending billions to liberal nonprofit groups.

Politico reports:

The Trump administration has directed nonprofits involved in a $20 billion Biden-era climate initiative to turn over records to the FBI and appear in federal court later this month, according to two people who were granted anonymity for fear of reprisal.

The move marks an escalation in the administration’s effort to claw back the climate money following its assertions that the Environmental Protection Agency had sought to evade oversight by depositing the $20 billion in Citibank accounts in the waning days of President Joe Biden’s term.

The fight is part of a larger power struggle kicked off by President Donald Trump’s attempts to unravel his predecessor’s spending decisions — even when that runs afoul of the actions of previous Congresses and funding that agencies have contractually obligated.

At least two groups that had been awarded shares of the funding through EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund received letters this week from acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin in Washington, directing them to turn over the records to the FBI within two weeks, said the two people, who were familiar with the document demand.

The letters asked the groups for their communications with EPA staff and transactions related to the program. The letters also asked the organizations to provide copies of their articles of incorporation and policies and procedures for managing the grants.

The groups also received a summons to provide testimony in federal court later this month, the two people said.

The Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington declined to comment. Citibank did not respond to a request for comment.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has been targeting the groups for weeks as part of his effort to take back the $20 billion awarded through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. He has claimed without providing evidence that the program is afflicted by fraud, a legal threshold that program supporters say would be needed for the administration to claw back the money from Citibank.

The truth about the Green Grift is spreading.

No stopping it now.
