02 June 2026 12:30

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has made criminal referrals to the Department of Justice over alleged self-dealing by Democrats in the distribution of billions in green energy grants. The referrals follow an internal investigation that uncovered evidence of funds being routed to political cronies.

Zeldin characterized the scheme as a major political enrichment scandal. The allegations have prompted calls for congressional hearings and a full audit of the grant programs.

The Biden administration has not yet responded to the charges.
