The Environmental Protection Agency recently discovered that the Biden administration awarded $2 billion to a climate group with ties to former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams – a fierce
supporter of former President Joe Biden.

The money was earmarked for Power Forward Communities – a nonprofit
partnered with multiple left-wing groups founded by Abrams and which the Georgia Democrat has stated she was “thrilled” to be part of, the Washington Free Beacon reported on Wednesday.

The funds were set aside at an outside financial institution – Citibank
– before Biden left office and part of a larger, $20 billion pot of
money the former president’s EPA received through the Inflation
Reduction Act to dole out to climate groups.

“It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100
in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion,” EPA Administrator
Lee Zeldin told the outlet, referring to Power Forward Communities
latest tax filings. “That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.”

Last week, Zeldin revealed that he located the $20 billion his EPA
predecessors squirreled away in an apparent attempt to prevent the Trump administration from clawing back the money and to obscure the various
groups that Power Forward Communities, and seven other entities, decide
to distribute the funds to.

Zeldin, at the time, expressed concern that the $20 billion would be
doled out to “far-left activist groups” without any federal oversight,
and perhaps even to groups with close ties to the Biden administration.

“I made a commitment to members of Congress and to the American people
to be a good steward of tax dollars and I’ve wasted no time in keeping
my word,” Zeldin told the Washington Free Beacon. “When we learned about the Biden Administration’s scheme to quickly park $20 billion outside
the agency, we suspected that some organizations were created out of
thin air just to take advantage of this.”

“As we continue to learn more about where some of this money went, it is
even more apparent how far-reaching and widely accepted this waste and
abuse has been.”
