$375B EPA slush fund handled by John Podesta gave billions to charities founded only months earlier
NY Post ^ | March 5, 2025 | By Isabel Vincent

The Biden administration funneled at least $20 billion dollars into environmental groups, most of which had only recently been founded, The Post has discovered.

In one case, former Vice President Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to Bethesda, Maryland, based group Climate United Fund, which does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings.

The non-profit fund had only been incorporated in Delaware on November 30, 2023, according to public records, five months before Harris handed over the cash in April 2024.

The Climate United Fund then announced “the historic investment” in a press release, noting the group’s work “delivers benefits like cleaner air…and increased energy security.”’

However, because the company is so new, there is no publicly published accounting of how it plans to spend the $7 billion.

Projects have been announced including a $10.8 million “pre-development loan” solar project on Tribal lands in eastern Oregon and Idaho and a $32m solar energy project at the University of Arkansas, but they represent only a drop in the bucket of the grant’s amount.

The cash for the charity came from a huge $370 billion climate slush fund of taxpayer money overseen by John Podesta, a political consultant who was chair of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 bid for president and White House chief of staff to Bill Clinton.

In 2022, President Joe Biden named Podesta to helm the climate fund, which resulted from the Inflation Reduction Act, a 2022 law that was aimed at combatting climate change and creating clean energy.

I believe people need to be prosecuted and punished for this. I do not care who they are.

They have stolen from the American people. I want justice.

Heralded by Biden, the “Environmental” fund was supposed to be a “first-of-its-kind”
<><>meant to address the bogus climate crisis
<><>revitalizing racialist communities “historically left behind.”
<><>very little of the $27 billion revitalized anything—
<><>except enrich nonprofits associated with Obama and Biden officials.
<><>Biden slyly used so-called ‘climate equity’
<><>to justify handouts of billions of dollars to far-left cronies
<><>Biden’s rush job is riddled with conflicts of interest and corruption.


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

A Free Press investigation reveals the scope of the $27 billion Biden scam:
<><>he acted swiftly after Harris lost, but before President Trump took office.
<><>described as akin to Biden “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”
<><>eight groups got sums ranging from $400M to $6.9 billion.
<><>the groups were obviously cued in
<><>formed just after Biden made it known large 9-10 figure grants were up for grabs.
<><>boards and staff of the recipients were familiar
<><>Democratic donors, Obama and Biden admin figures,
<><>and prominent money-grabber Democrats like Stacey Abrams.

How much money did Podesta give to Seth Rich’s family to sit back and not make any noise about how Hillary had their son murdered?

...five months before Harris handed over the cash in April 2024.

The Climate United Fund then announced “the historic investment” in Harris's campaign fund.

Fixed.

This money made its way into Democrat campaigns.

If Trump/Musk get this under control, just watch Democrats struggle to fundraise in 2028.

AGAIN.

NEVER want to hear the expression: “Pay for TAX Cuts” again.

Let’s FREEZE all Federal Spending, no more Baseline Increases until we know where our tax dollars are going.

US Taxpayers have literally been robbed.

John Podesta is all sleaze and slime. DOJ and FBI need to audit him and all these bogus slush funds.

It’s quite obvious how the Harris campaign raised $2 billion dollars in short order after the Democrats deposed Biden.
