Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, ruled that Lee Zeldin cannot claw back the money currently being sheltered at Citibank for 8 different ‘green’ nonprofits. The $20 billion sitting at Citibank will not be restored to the 8 nonprofits yet. Judge Chutkan’s TRO temporarily stopped Lee Zeldin from reclaiming the funds. “When the court asked EPA to proffer evidence justifying its decision given the terms of the agreement, its only response was to refer to the termination letter, which gave no legal justification for the termination,” the judge wrote.
