Career prosecutors at the U.S. Lawyer's Office in Washington, D.C., have bid suddenly for her resignation this week after a tug of war with Trump officials over a suspicious Environmental Protection Agency grant issued under the Biden administration.
Dennis Chan, criminal director at the US Lawyer's office, asked U.S. interim US lawyer Ed Martin and others to conduct a large ju court investigation into unidentified multi-billion dollar grants. She announced her resignation on Tuesday.
Trump officials believe the grant could be linked to wire fraud and conspiracy to fraud the United States. However, after repeated documents provided by the Assistant Attorney General's Office, Cheung and his colleagues determined that there was not enough evidence to justify the investigation of the Great Ju Court. Reuters It has been reported.
“Based on the evidence I reviewed, I don't think there is enough evidence yet… I'll tell the bank that there is a possible cause for seizing a particular account identified.”
Trump officials then ordered Chan to freeze grant-related assets. After consulting with DC's FBI Field Office, Cheung wrote to the bank, recommending “a 30-day management freeze on certain assets,” she said in her resignation letter to Martin.
However, Martin and the others were not satisfied. Martin then called for Chen on Monday. Washington Postcite one unknown source.
Trump officials then requested that Cheung send a second letter to the bank so that Cheung freezes more assets as part of a criminal investigation. Cheung stopped rather than complying.
“When you explained that the amount of evidence did not support the action, you stated that you believed there was enough evidence,” she wrote to Martin.
“Based on the evidence I reviewed, there is sufficient evidence to issue a letter you described, including sufficient evidence to tell the bank that there is a possible cause for seizing a particular account identified by the bank. I don't think there's one.”
In a letter to a colleague who revealed her resignation 24 years later, Cheung threw the same self-important tone apparent in other resignation letters. “This office is a special place,” she wrote. “I took the oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, and I faithfully carried out this duty.”
The U.S. Lawyers' Office and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
Last week, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said he was driving EPA officials to throw away “away from the Titanic factions” before President Donald Trump opened on January 20th. announced it has discovered $20 billion in taxpayer dollars. Zeldin claimed that the Biden EPA's financial institution “and claimed it was rarely overlooked.”
Zeldin pointed out that the bank had no suspicion of fraud, but he asked that the bank terminate the financial agent contract and that the EPA reaffirms all liability for the money.
“The days when the day we loaded cash into the activist group on the far left in the name of environmental justice and climate equity are over,” Zeldin assured viewers of his X-Video.
