As Breitbart News reported last week, Zeldin discovered that the outgoing Biden administration had rushed $20 billion to the left-wing groups, via Citibank, last year before leaving office.
Zeldin promised to recover the funds. But Denise Cheung, criminal division chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, DC, refused to order Citibank to stop disbursing the funds, saying that they had been legally allocated under President Joe Biden’s so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” (which expanded government spending on climate).
When Cheung was ordered to send a letter to Citibank telling it to withhold the funds, she resigned.

Of course there’s zero chance that any of that moola is making it’s way back to the “DOJ Prosecutor” in question.
Good riddance, and good luck in your future endeavors...
Cheung
I had no idea there is a Chief of Criminals Division.
Sounds like she is good at her job but you know what eventually happens to all criminals....
Well, at least they got her title almost right: She IS a Criminal, and she WAS a Division Chief.
That’s $20 Billion of our money, a pittance really, circling back to the Democrats one way or another. Not sure I can stomach this any more.
“I wonder if she is a true climate believer, a dedicated Leftist, or is just a climber polishing her leftist credentials.”
Yes, yes, and yes.
Will we ever see prosecutions for these weasels or will we let them off the hook like all dem criminals in the past... Hillary... Eric Holder etc.
They’s dropping like flies.
Denise Cheung likes fraud, waste and abuse.
She’s human garbage.
“When Cheung was ordered to send a letter to Citibank telling it to withhold the funds, she resigned. “
self-draining swampette ...
Resigning isn’t goinv to prevent them investigating her and bringing charges.
IF BIDEN GOT A CUT OFF THAT $20 BILLION-—AND CITIBANK HAS TO GIVE BACK $20 BILLION——
OOOOOOPS!!
THEIR BOTTOM LINE WILL TAKE A HIT.
Denise has been there at DOJ 24 years aka embedded and a “made man” and self-entitled.

In a resignation letter to interim US Attorney Ed Martin, Cheung stated that neither the investigation nor the asset freeze was supported by the evidence provided to her by the Deputy Attorney General’s office.
“I have been proud to serve at the US Department of Justice and this office for over 24 years,” she wrote.
“During my tenure, which has spanned over many different administrations, I have always been guided by the oath I took … to support and defend the Constitution.”
The letter did not disclose which executive branch agency’s contract was under scrutiny or the entity that had received it.
Cheung’s departure is the latest in a series of resignations by career Justice Department prosecutors protesting what they perceive as political interference in criminal investigations under the Trump administration.
It's worth noting that Denise Cheung has had a long and distinguished career in the U.S. Department of Justice, spanning over 24 years5. Her most recent position as the head of the criminal division at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. was a role of significant responsibility, overseeing major criminal cases including those related to national security and the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack6.
Cheung's career demonstrates a progression from consulting and product management roles in the private sector to high-level positions in federal law enforcement. Her educational background in economics, business management, and law has clearly informed her diverse professional experiences. (Harvard Law School)
The corrupt prosecutor needs to be prosecuted!
Re: a true climate beleiver, a dedicated Leftists, or is just a climber polishing her leftist credentials.
I’d wager all three in one neat, tidy communist package….
Good riddance. The criminals are self-selecting out.
Of course we or I am asked why would scientists make up climate change? I think this might be part of the funding. No climate change = no funding.
