First on the fox: House surveillance chairman James Comer expands his investigation into Former President Joe Biden’s EPA, accusing the awarding agency of $ 20 billion in grants to political allies.
Comer, R-Ky., He invited eight non-governmental organizations that received grants to offer the Committee all information related to grants and their staff and salaries.
$ 20 billion was derived from two initiatives initiated by the 2022 inflation law, which aimed to offer grants to non -profit organizations, community development banks and other groups focused on communities in a disadvantage. EPA Lee Zeldin administrator has moved to terminate programs earlier this month, but that decision is now held in court.
“Biden EPA tried to use any supervision by reaching a shady contract with a financial institution to cover up his corrupt independently independently, who rewarded political friends, pushing the ultimate left environmental program,” Comer said in a statement. “Radical ecological groups that profit from Biden’s green new job must be responsible for misuse of support for tax bonds and providing information for our investigation.”

Republicans claim that $ 20 billion was “parked in an external financial institution” to avoid monitoring. As part of the greenhouse gas reduction fund (GGRF), eight groups received funds from the National Pure Investment Fund in the amount of $ 14 billion and $ 6 billion pure investment investment.
Eight letters came out on: CLIMA United, Green Capital Coalition, Power Community, Opportunity Finance Network, Inclusive, Air Condition Fund, Capital of Appalachian Community Capital and Native CDFI Network.
The funds are included in the funds for communities in the amount of two billion dollars, a group associated with the former Georgia Stacey Abrams Gubernator State candidate, which aims to “reduce our influence on climate” by financing the replacement of household appliances in communities with lower revenues with green alternatives.

“On the page of one of the awards contracts, it tells them that they have 21 days to distribute all $ 2 billion. On the Seven Award Agreement, this gives them 90 days to complete the training called” How to Develop a Budget. “I would say that any subject that needs to be trained about developing a budget should not actually distribute money before they cause this training, and certainly should not receive two billion dollars to distribute so quickly,” he continued.
So Zeldin He noted that EPA found the potential payment of “interest conflict” in the amount of $ 5 billion to the former director of the greenhouse gas reduction fund within Biden.
“All that money was put in front of it,” Zeldin said. “It was” here is $ 20 billion. “And that went to their friends on the left.”
