Patriots, it’s time to applaud a great win for accountability and transparency in government spending! On Tuesday evening, EPA Chief Lee Zeldin heroically notified the eight recipients of a staggering $20 billion from the Biden EPA slush fund that their grants are terminated. With confidence and determination, Zeldin declared, “It is my commitment to President Trump, Congress, and you, that EPA will be an exceptional steward of your tax dollars. I’ll have it no other way!”
Zeldin took bold steps, previously clawing back the $20 billion in grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) with Citibank’s agreement to freeze funds earmarked for these nonprofits:
- Coalition for Green Capital
- Climate United Fund
- Power Forward Communities
- Opportunity Finance Network
- Inclusiv
- The Justice Climate Fund
In a statement made Tuesday evening, Zeldin confirmed he had informed these nonprofits of their grant termination.
Update: @EPA just notified 8 recipients of $20 BILLION in Biden EPA “gold bars” that their grants have been TERMINATED! It is my commitment to President Trump, Congress, and you, that EPA will be an exceptional steward of your tax dollars. I’ll have it no other way!

Last month, Zeldin had provided an update on the misuse of funds under Biden’s watch, following a revealing undercover video by Project Veritas.
As reported, an EPA advisor was caught in a Project Veritas video admitting the agency hurriedly allocated taxpayer money to climate change initiatives just before President Trump’s inauguration.

Zeldin’s resolute promise for a “full accounting” reveals that his dedicated team at the EPA has indeed “found the gold bars”. Shockingly, $20 billion of our tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. Zeldin called it an unprecedented scheme with reduced oversight.
The $20 billion, Zeldin explained, was awarded to just eight entities responsible for distributing funds to NGOs with little transparency. Nearly $7 billion went to the Climate United Fund alone. Zeldin emphasized the urgency of terminating the financial agreement with the bank and returning these “gold bars” to the taxpayer.
He committed to reviewing every penny spent, referring the matter to the inspector general, and collaborating with the Justice Department for further action.
The Biden EPA tossed $20 billion of “gold bars off the Titanic”. BIG UPDATE! We found the gold bars and they are now being recovered for you, the hardworking American taxpayer. Here are more of the details:

Thanks to Zeldin’s leadership, the American people can be assured that their hard-earned money is protected and that accountability remains a top priority in our government.
