Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin detailed on The Alex Marlow Show how the Biden administration protected $20 billion in “gold bars” meant for leftist NGOs, many of them with connections to the Biden administration.
Zeldin sent shockwaves in mid-February after he had pledged to recover $20 billion in taxpayer funds that had been sent by the Biden administration to climate change projects and other pet projects of Democrat staffers.
The EPA Administrator at the time likened it to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” saying that it was a “rush job with reduced oversight.”
However, Zeldin explained to Alex Marlow, the Editor-in-Chief of Breitbart News and host of The Alex Marlow Show, that the Biden administration tied up the money to make it harder for him and the Trump administration to conduct oversight of the $20 billion in “gold bars” to leftist NGOs.
Zeldin said that “the director of the greenhouse reduction fund left an NGO to come to the Biden administration, becomes the director of the greenhouse reduction fund, and gave their former employer $5 billion.”
He noted that one CEO who applied for a $20 million grant sat on the Biden White House environmental justice council, which had only received $3 million over the prior three years.
The EPA had uncovered that $2 billion was set aside for a climate change group, Power Forward Communities, which is associated with Democrat Stacey Abrams, even though the organization had only reported $100 in revenue.
He said that these eight entities which received these grants need to have proper oversight.

‘GOLD BARS’: EPA Advisor Admits ‘Insurance Policy’ Against Trump Funnels Billions to Climate Groups
James O’keefe recorded a Biden Admin EPA official saying the Biden EPA “was throwing gold bricks off the Titanic” to blow the money on cronies before Trump tool over.

Anyone who didn’t know the Biden Administration was going to loot and pillage the treasury id they lost wasn’t paying attention.
The FBI and the DOJ are going to be very busy and I hope this all comes down to arrests and persecutions.
Hey Grandpa, can I have 100,000 for a new SUV?
Zeldin is going to be outstanding at EPA—very sharp, hard working and determined guy.
The amount of criminal actions by the Democrats is astounding.
Will anyone be arrested or charged with anything? Seems doubtful. Has the new administration arrested anyone for theft or obstruction?
Maybe Biden’s goons and thugs were paying off friends...
“He said that these eight entities which received these grants need to have proper oversight.”
Now we are down to just improved “oversight”??!! We need to have better “oversight” of graft and corruption?
BS on that. Find a way to send people to JAIL including the crooks the eight bogus companies that were going to collect the loot. This guy from an NGO who went to EPA to giver away the loot to his previous company should be the first sent to the Graybar Hotel.
Is there ANY chance that the corruption will be rooted out and people held to account?
“Will anyone be arrested or charged with anything?” Doubtful. But rest easy, Friend, we might get better “oversight.”
Why are people not indicted on this...
When is this stuff coming out in Georgia going to help Rudi Guiliani ?
From the viewpoint of those on the Left there seems to be little risk in undermining and obstructing this administration. I’m not understanding the administration’s reluctance to act decisively as being passive only encourages more of the same behavior.
“act decisively”
The new administration is only six weeks old. But, yes, I was hoping for more decisive action by now.
At least Trump declared the cartels “foreign terrorist organizations” and Hegseth is sending an Army Stryker Brigade to the border.
America’s at insider “peak-looting” stage
I get the PR stuff but often there’s more rhetoric than results with respect holding people accountable. That really has to change soon. Otherwise, it becomes a sign of weakness and lack of resolve.
Judges mandating Trump pay up must be in on the take. The thieves certainly planned for the worst case scenario.
Let’s park an agent in every office that has to approve all disbursement
