Trump-appointed EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has been attempting to freeze $16 billion in federal funds that the Biden Administration granted to climate change NGOs. Project Veritas revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) deliberately gave away BILLIONS in funds prior to Trump taking office. In a major win for the American public, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned a lower court ruling that would have jeopardized the remaining $16 billion.
“Now it’s how to get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge.” – Brent Efron, EPA Advisor.
Despite evidence directly showing that the EPA offloaded billions in taxpayer funds ahead of Trump’s appointment, a lower court initially ruled in favor of the outgoing administration and claimed that the EPA did not have the right to block funds designated to climate groups. The latest ruling by a federal appeals court determined in a 2-1 vote that the EPA has the authority to prevent these green agencies from stealing from the American public.
People do not realize just how much money the EPA blew through on absolutely nothing. Biden admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act, the most expensive spending package in US history, was about CLIMATE CHANGE at its core and had nothing to do with inflation. Those at the EPA called the act “Biden’s climate law” and were eager to spend the $360 billion set aside for green initiatives. The Inflation Reduction Act was merely a climate change slush fund.
Efron told an undercover journalist that they were preparing to spend the money as quickly as possible right up until inauguration day. “We gave them [nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren’t [a government agency], they’re safer from Republicans taking the money away,” he said. The EPA awarded nonprofits between $50 and $100 million EACH toward the end of Biden’s presidency.
The corruption is insultingly blatant. One agency was awarded a $2 BILLION grant despite only producing $100 in revenue and was tied to corrupt, failed politician Stacey Abrams. Imagine if Donald Trump awarded $2 billion to an organization that earned less than a child’s lemonade stand and had connections to a conservative ally? The absolute corruption of the past administration is unbelievable as they robbed the public blind for climate, migrants, war, and personal gain.
There is a chance that this issue could be sent to the US Supreme Court. The American people should be outraged that the government would openly spend billions to spite a political rival. The former EPA was not hurting Trump with this spending, as the people are who always bear the brunt of these political wars.
