The Department of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program that was part of Joe Biden’s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act.

Created in the spring of 2023, and managed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the fund was supposed to be a “first-of-its-kind” program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing communities that it considered “historically left behind.”

But it appears little of the $27 billion revitalized anything—except the coffers of a range of environmental nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.

“The Biden administration used so-called ‘climate equity’ to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their far-left friends,” @leezeldin, the Trump administration’s new EPA administrator, told @TheFP. “It is my utmost priority to get a handle on every dollar that went out the door in this scheme and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds. This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest and corruption.”

A Free Press investigation reveals that of the $27 billion, $20 billion was rushed out the door to eight nonprofit groups after Biden lost the election—but before President Donald Trump took office. As one former EPA official put it on a secretly recorded video, it was akin to “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”

The eight groups were allocated sums ranging from $400 million to $6.9 billion. Several of them were formed in August of 2023, just one month after the grant applications went live in July of 2023, when it became clear that large nine- and 10-figure grants would be up for grabs. The boards and staff of these eight groups include Democratic donors, people with connections to the Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent Democrats like Stacey Abrams.

“These are some of the biggest grants to individual organizations in American history."

Things like this is why the Dems are boycotting tonight’s speech.

They don’t want to be embarrassed when Trump singles them out by name on the corruption that they have promulgated for decades...............

I will confess I never thought it would be possible, but it appears the Biden Administration exceeded even the record-breaking grift numbers of the Clinton Foundation

You spend $740 billion to REDUCE inflation?

How does that work?

Remember the fleet of 747s they took to Beijing to kiss the feet of their CCP masters?

The “reduction” act raised everything! The Republican Party didn’t take the Midterms seriously. As it stands, the GOP is only up one.

The fact that that $2 billion was given to a newly-created NGO, controlled by the low IQ, gap-toothed, woke ghettopottamus Stacey Abrams tells you everything you need to know about these “climate funds.”

“These are some of the biggest grants to individual organizations in American history."

And they were given to groups specifically formed to accept these grants. We should claw back every penny, and if appropriate and possible, jail those who stole money.

They PRINTED over a trillion dollars to fund that bill. That’s what turbocharged the inflation.

They knew Trump was going to win his third election and they wanted to make sure he inherited an economic catastrophe.

You can bet John Kerry knows...I wonder what John François Kerry is doing a year later. Imagine all the millions of dollars spent by the DOD flying this traitor around. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and the first-evah Principal to sit on the National Security Council entirely dedicated to climate change.
