One of the law’s biggest spending vehicles—the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund—was created with over $25 billion in taxpayer money. In 2023, that fund was used to award $20 billion in grants to eight environmental groups with deep ties to Democrat operatives and former Biden officials.
Chairman Comer didn’t mince words when announcing the investigation.
“The Biden EPA tried to dodge any oversight by striking a shady deal with a financial institution to cover up its corrupt self-dealing that rewarded political cronies pushing a far-left environmental agenda,” Comer said in a statement. “The radical environmental groups profiting from Biden’s Green New Deal must be held accountable for their misuse of taxpayer-funded grants and provide information for our investigation.”
Secret Bank Account, No Oversight
What makes this story even more troubling is how the Biden EPA allegedly tried to hide the money trail.
According to Comer, the agency quietly parked $20 billion in a Citibank account, effectively shielding it from public scrutiny and watchdog oversight. This maneuver has drawn condemnation from officials trying to bring transparency to the EPA’s grant process.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has since tried to reverse the damage, attempting to shut down the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund altogether. However, a Democrat-appointed judge has blocked his efforts, triggering a legal showdown.
Zeldin is warning of potential corruption and mismanagement, pointing specifically to a group known as Power Forward Communities.
From $100 in Donations to $2 Billion in Grants
Power Forward Communities is reportedly linked to Stacey Abrams, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate who played a key role in mobilizing Democrat voters in the 2020 election.
In 2023, the group reportedly raised just $100—but the Biden EPA handed it $2 billion to replace gas-powered appliances in underserved neighborhoods.
Zeldin pointed to the absurdity of the grant agreement:
“On page one of the grant agreement, it tells them that they have 21 days to distribute all $2 billion. On page seven of the grant agreement, it gives them 90 days to complete a training called ‘How to Develop a Budget.’ I would say that any entity that needs training on how to develop a budget shouldn’t be actually distributing money before they take that training, and they certainly shouldn’t be receiving $2 billion to be distributed that rapidly,” Zeldin explained.
In a clear nod to political payback, Zeldin noted that Biden himself credited Abrams’ organizing in Georgia as crucial to his narrow 2020 victory. That revelation only deepens the perception that these environmental grants were a reward to political allies.
“All this money was put up front,” Zeldin said. “It was ‘here is $20 billion.’ And it was going to their friends on the Left.”

Investigations Stack Up
The scandal has attracted attention beyond Congress. The FBI, the Department of Justice, and even officials from the Trump-era EPA are now reportedly investigating how the funds were distributed—and whether federal law was broken in the process.
This isn’t just about bad optics. If Comer’s investigation uncovers proof of political favoritism or fraudulent activity, the Biden administration could face major legal and ethical blowback.
What started as a push for “environmental justice” may have just turned into one of the largest political slush funds in recent memory.
And the American people are left footing the bill.
