EPA Chief Lee Zeldin confirmed that he has canceled over $22 billion worth of contracts – including the $2 billion awarded to a nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams – amid a legal battle.
“The EPA has now cancelled over $22 billion worth of contracts — $2 billion going to this NGO that Stacey Abrams was tied to. They received only $100 in 2023 and then the Biden administration gave them $2 billion — The director of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund saw his former employer get $5 billion — So $20 billion went to just eight NGOs,” Lee Zeldin said during a Cabinet meeting on Monday.

A federal judge last Tuesday evening temporarily blocked EPA Chief Lee Zeldin from clawing back $20 billion from the Biden EPA’s slush fund.
Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, ruled that Lee Zeldin cannot claw back the money currently being sheltered at Citibank for 8 different ‘green’ nonprofits.
The $20 billion sitting at Citibank will not be restored to the 8 nonprofits yet.
Judge Chutkan’s TRO temporarily stopped Lee Zeldin from reclaiming the funds.
“When the court asked EPA to proffer evidence justifying its decision given the terms of the agreement, its only response was to refer to the termination letter, which gave no legal justification for the termination,” the judge wrote.
EPA Chief Lee Zeldin previously 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 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.”
