The Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially introduced the potential mismanagement of the $20 billion Biden-era Biden program to the EPA’s general’s office on Monday.
EPA’s representative inspector Nicole Murley is looking for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), a large Biden EPA program that sought to award a green group of billions of taxpayer dollars with Democrat insiders and donors. Monday letter Represents WC McIntosh, assistant administrator of EPA. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are also investigating the GGRF for potential fraud or mismanagement in their own investigations.
“Recent findings reveal patterns of reckless financial management, blatant conflicts of interest, astounding total taxes awarded to unqualified recipients, and serious flaws in regulatory oversight under previous administrations,” the letter states. “The EPA Inspectors’ Office (OIG) plays an important role in eliminating waste and abuse. We are standing with your office on a shared mission to restore accountability and prevent further misuse of taxpayer dollars.” (Related: Biden-Harris administrator spent billions of dollars on nonprofits that are warning CEOs “must end” on carbon-generating businesses)

“While these issues can be fully investigated, we will continue to actively pursue enhanced monitoring, response and accountability,” MacIntosh added in his letter. “We stand firmly alongside the inspector’s office in our shared mission to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse by the EPA. We look forward to the recommendation.”
MacIntosh’s letter highlights the specific concerns Trump EPA has about the GGRF. For example, we discovered that a contract was signed between the winner and the Biden EPA. Some of that appears to have been inked or revised on the last day of the Biden administration’s tenure. There were also concerns about the Biden EPA’s decision to park $20 billion in GGRF cash at Citibank. This is what the Trump EPA describes as an “unprecedented arrangement” for the agency.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reports extensively on the political connections between board members and officials on three GGRF recipients, the Green Capital Union, the Power Forward Community and climate unity. Many board members of these groups have worked for large organizations known to be former Biden, Obama or Clinton administration graduates or as institutional supporters of the Democratic Party.
“It’s my pledge to be responsible for every penny the EPA spends. This is a tough turn from the Biden-Harris administration’s waste and intentionally “threw a gold stick from the Titanic,” EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said in a statement. “The American people deserve tax accountability and responsible stewardship. We will continue to provide it.”
