Exclusive: Republican report outlines Slush fund allegations against Biden EPA

First on Fox: Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released a report outlining what they call conflicts of interest, poor financial management and negligence related to the competitive era’s green energy grant program, which issued $20 billion to just eight different nonprofits.

The money comes from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which budgets approximately $27 billion to promote “environmental justice” for the Clean Energy and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). An undercover recording of a former Biden Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) political appointment, who will spend through the GGRF similar to the gold bars thrown away at the Titanic at the end of Biden’s term and announced in February that the agency would explore the issue. Republicans are currently trying to withdraw funds, claiming they were kicked out of the door at the end of the Biden administration, with little oversight, and heading towards Democratic allies.

“The House Oversight Committee’s report today reveals the Biden administration’s grand green energy program, aiming to bring together hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to enrich Democratic allies and fund-raising parties, politically motivated projects,” House Republican Oversight Chair.” James Comer Tell Fox News numbers. “What Americans deserve is better than this green energy scam disguised as environmental justice, and oversight of Republicans will continue to be responsible for the Biden administration to ensure that the EPA works as expected and spends taxpayers’ money in a transparent, responsible way, and in the best interest of the American people.”

The EPA terminated most grants after the Trump administration took office, but the move was withdrawn by Democrats’ laws. However, last week, a federal appeals court judge Removal of the lower court’s ruling This prevented the Trump administration from freezing funds, believing that the administration is following its role in providing “appropriate oversight” of how funds are allocated.

The EPA referred the matter to the Inspector General of the Agency. The EPA said the Department of Justice and the FBI are also conducting a simultaneous investigation. However, so far, no criminal wrongdoing has been found.

Ranking member of the Subcommittee of Oversight and Investigation, Rep. Yvette Clarke, DN.Y. Refuse to comment on the matter. In addition, several other The highest ranking Democrat, The ranking members of the House Oversight Committee include D-Calif.

But in a letter to Selding on August 11, several ranking Democrats signed by Zeldin, including Clark, they accused Zeldin of “lying” about the inflation reduction bill.

“You boast over and over again about the illegal activities carried out by the EPA under your leadership, without any reliable evidence to justify your actions.”

While there may not be any criminal misconduct to date, the photos portrayed by House Overseers’ investigation show that the Biden administration “turns the Environmental Protection Agency into a tool to reward political allies while risking the stability of our energy infrastructure.”

“The House Oversight Committee’s report today exposed the Biden administration’s grand green energy program, which aims to bring together hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to enrich Democratic allies and fundraising parties, politically motivated projects,” Comer added.

The report oversees Republicans’ release details how committee staff reviewed “thousands of thousands” documents produced by GGRF winners. These documents also include EPA materials used to review and award GGRF funds, as well as other records.

The report shows how the EPA uses a scoring system to judge applicants, which awards points to different parts of a nonprofit organization. For example, perfect “financial risk management” has earned a total of 85 points, while perfect “legal and compliance risk management” can provide applicants with up to 40 points. Meanwhile, EPA weights “fairness and environmental justice” in the form of “financial statements” rather than weighted “governance” or “legal and compliance risk management”, among other categories.

“By doing so, the EPA almost ensures that the grant will be awarded to President Biden’s political allies. All GGRF winners have a ‘climate equality’ or diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policy, or a commitment to implementing the same policy,” the House oversight report said. “The EPA criticized multiple applicants because their emissions reductions were too low. In other cases, EPA staff complained that it wasn’t enough “Environmental Justice” Expertise on leading or nonprofit boards. Biden EPA adheres to climate equity measurements rather than advantages. ”

According to the Oversight Report, after the program received scores, it provided EPA staff with a “reconciliation” process to discuss their assessments and adjust their scores. Then, the final decision was handed over to a “selecting official” and he made the final decision.

The report also claimed that the payment review process was “full of contradictions.” It said the documents show that EPA officials are receiving financial interests related to overly optimistic forecasts or Reduce emissions, Lack of access to private capital, high cash balances without insurance, and lack of transparency. According to the House of Representatives’ oversight report, while in other documents, the EPA treats GGRF recipients as entities with “a record, employee, risk management policies and other programmatic functions.”

According to the Oversight Report, a group that was reviewed by the Joint Climate Fund was established to utilize the GGRF. The report notes that the claims from EPA staff indicate that the group is “a new entity purpose established to implement our program plans and does not have a strong reporting history.”

The Negligence report noted that the Climate United Nations Climate United reported that assets in fiscal year 2023 were only $95,557, but received $6.97 billion in assets from the EPA, with a reported increase of 7,293,980% since 2023.

Other groups have seen similar significant increases.

The Power Forward community received $2 billion as part of GGRF spending. The group was not established until the Biden administration announced the GGRF application process, reporting only $100 in its first and only tax applications – meaning that the entity’s assets grew by 2,000,000,000% under the $20 billion GGRF reward.

“These tired allegations dispersed the fact that the EPA’s illegal funding freeze will allow hard-working Americans nationwide to raise energy costs. As household bills soar, Congress should focus on cheap, clean energy technologies rather than providing cheap, clean energy technologies to Brooke Durham, spokesperson for Fox Fox News, rather than re-issuing false claims. “The Climate Federation welcomes the opportunity to explain to Congress, federal agencies and the public what we do and the benefits of the NCIF program. ”

The spokesman also pointed out that although the climate coalition consisting of three independent organizations is new, the organization that constitutes is not.

“The organization that forms the climate union has invested in the community for more than 30 years and is an expert in the capital markets, who jointly manage more than $30 billion in institutional and public funding,” Durham said. She added that the group is proud to promote 946.5 points of EPA scores in a possible 1050 points, which Durham noted is the highest of all winners.

The Power Forward declined to comment. But, Tim Mayopolous, the group’s CEO, told CBS News last month that the GGRF awards “a highly structured competitive process that the U.S. government has gone through.”

“These organizations are part of our alliance – they have been collectively for nearly a century and they have invested more than $100 billion in capital into the entire American community in those years,” Mayopolous added. “We have no inexperienced people.”

The Climate Federation and some other groups concerned have also come under fire for allegedly exaggerating the salaries and travel benefits of its executives in the proposed budget. The CEO’s salary at Climate United is booked over $500,000 and Power Forward $800,000, which increases to over $900,000 a year. A group of generated Budget This gave executives of seven of its employees a total of $24,862,419 in three years, the report said.

At the same time, what Zeldin called a “blatant” conflict of interest was also revealed in the report. The report said the organization’s former policy director is the organization’s former policy director and he hopes to pay its total of $25 million in three years, totaling $25 million. The report said that due to the conflict, directors must withdraw themselves from the reward process.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee said the Biden-era Green Energy Grant Program is used to reward President Joe Biden’s political allies.

At Climate United, the organization currently serves as a former Biden climate adviser who worked for the last two years of his former presidency. Their board makeup was also with Obama administration. However, Durham questioned the hint of a conflict of interest, told Fox News that any staff or board member of Climate United helped with the design of the program, or chose the reward recipient.

Power forward’s GGRF application process has also been accused of being led by Democratic allies in a Republican oversight report. The report noted that the power forward was established by the nonprofit’s rewiring executives, co-founded by Obama’s top administration consultants. It also claims that the Power Forward plans to award the U.S. award to the U.S. for nearly $500 million.

“The nonprofits receive rewards and links with Biden executives and allies are messy. Executives and board members of some GGRF winners have even helped develop policies to create GGRFs and are now benefiting from the high salaries offered by taxpayers,” the taxpayer said.

“GGRF is a big step for the left who are implementing a new green deal. The program is a national green bank that will flood the economy with billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to fund guerrilla projects, whether they have value investments or not.”
