EPA officials confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that the FBI is reportedly exploring the possible fraud of the massive Biden-Era Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program.

Specifically, FBI agents reportedly interviewed EPA employees this week as part of an ongoing escalation to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), a $20 billion program that awarded billions of dollars to green groups that carry Democratic donors and insiders, The Washington Post reported Friday that Friday cited anonymous sources to familiarize themselves with the situation they could freely say. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin repeatedly expressed concern that GGRF abuses taxpayer money to benefit Biden EPA friends, although some professional federal prosecutors avoided investigations when asked to do so.

Since November 2023, DCNF has extensively reported on the political ties of GGRF winners. (Related: Biden-Harris administrator handed over billions to a group with Stacey Abrams dedicated to announcing voters)

Zeldin says he will try Pull backward As much GGRF cash as possible and President Donald Trump actively opposes the Biden administration's excessive green spending on its way back to the White House. Trump EPA cited a December 2024 video from the conservative radical group Veritas Project Veritas, where one of the BIDEN EPA employees told the undercover project Veritas employees that the agency was eager to roll out funds in the last days of the administration, just like we were on the Titanic, we threw, for example, we threw advantage. ”

Biden EPA parked the $20 billion at Citibank before it was replaced by Trump administration personnel, according to the Post, and GGRF recipients said they could not exit the bank. Meanwhile, EPA's acting inspector general Nicole Murley testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday that her office was checking the GGRF and was concerned that Biden's late EPA was rushing to get funds in order to impact the screening process for potential recipients.

The FBI contacted Brent Efron, an EPA official in the project Veritas video on Monday, and the EPA inspector general's office has also been contacted, according to the Post. Efron's attorney Mark Zaid told The Post that Efron “had no idea what this means, he never participated in any obligations or payments for EPA aid programs,” and Efron “had not participated in any conversations about EPA and Citibank.”

The EPA and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
