The Biden administration has tinkered with $20 billion and poured into newly formed environmental groups just days before President Lame Duck left, Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin revealed Thursday.
The recently discovered slash fund parked at Citibank was last changed on January 13, a week before Trump's inauguration, and quickly drew to the climate nonprofit on the far left with little surveillance from the EPA, Zeldin told Fox News host Jesse Watters.
“We need to make sure that we have accountability here, and that the federal government establishes surveillance. We cannot afford to waste this money. A former New York lawmaker said:
Zeldin added that Attorney General Pam Bondy and FBI Director Kash Patel are focused and motivated when reviewing taxes deliberately wasted by President Ram Duck's administration.
“The Department of Justice and the FBI have worked very closely with us.”
EPA administrators announced last month that his predecessor had clearly left to prevent the Trump administration from robbing money back and obscuring the eight entities he is tasked with distributing the funds.
At the time, Zeldin expressed concern that $20 billion would be distributed to “away left activist groups” without federal oversight, and perhaps even groups with close ties to the Biden administration.
Climate Fund It is part of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund under the Inflation Reduction Act, and is a 2022 law aimed at combating climate change and creating clean energy.
The money was eventually poured into environmental groups, but most of them were recently established.
In one case, former vice president Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 million to Maryland-based Climate United Fund just five months after it was founded in November 2023.
The $940 million pocket Judicial Climate Fund was established in 2023 and has not yet filed a single tax return with the IRS.
Power Forward Community, led by former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, was founded in 2023 and won $2 billion from the Public Pot, despite showing just $100 that year.
The charity's cash comes from a huge climate-style slash fund of taxpayer amounts overseen by John Podesta, president of 2016 presidential chair and political consultant John Podesta, political consultant who failed to bid for White House chief Bill Clinton.
Last year, EPA advisor Brent Efron We've been caught up in a video explaining how the agency hastily split the associated $20 billion climate fund held by Citibank before the end of the Biden administration.
Zeldin later promised to collect the money from Citibank.
“The Biden EPA 'Gold Bar' scheme told the post earlier in a statement, throwing funds at the far left organizations pushing DEI and environmental justice while limiting government oversight.
“Of the eight pass-through entities that received funds from a $20 billion tax pot, various recipients show little qualifying to process a single dollar, let alone billions. I have zero tolerance for waste and abuse at the EPA.”
