Judge Tanya Chutkan
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals late Wednesday evening partially blocked Judge Chutkan’s order that barred EPA Chief Lee Zeldin from clawing back billions of dollars from Joe Biden‘s EPA slush fund.
The three-judge panel: Pillard (Obama), Katsas (Trump) and Rao (Trump) stayed Judge Chutkan’s order requiring Citibank to disburse the funds by Thursday (today).
On Wednesday, Judge Chutkan, an Obama appointee, granted an injunction against the EPA and barred Lee Zeldin from clawing back the money currently being sheltered at Citibank for 8 different ‘green’ nonprofits.
Lee Zeldin previously clawed back the $20 billion in grants under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and Citibank agreed to freezing the funds earmarked for the eight nonprofits.
According to AP, the money was awarded to “Coalition for Green Capital, Climate United Fund, Power Forward Communities, Opportunity Finance Network, Inclusiv and the Justice Climate Fund.”
The $20 billion sitting at Citibank was ordered by Judge Chutkan to be unfrozen by Thursday and disbursed to the 8 ‘green’ groups.
The DC Circuit Court stayed Chutkan’s order pending further order of the court.
Lee Zeldin last month said he notified the eight recipients of the $20 billion from the Biden EPA’s slush fund that their grants have been terminated.
“It is my commitment to President Trump, Congress, and you, that EPA will be an exceptional steward of your tax dollars. I’ll have it no other way!” Lee Zeldin said.
Lee Zeldin terminated the grants after an EPA advisor was exposed in a Project Veritas undercover video admitting that the agency rushed to allocate billions of taxpayer dollars to climate change initiatives just before President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Project Veritas caught Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Advisor Brent Efron on undercover video admitting there is an “insurance policy” against President Trump.
“It was an insurance policy against Trump winning,” Brent Efron told Project Veritas undercover journalist.
“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” Efron said.
