The United States Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, said former President Joe Biden’s administration granted $2 billion to a climate group linked to high-profile Democrat Stacey Abrams, describing it as a “scheme of wasteful” spending.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that “the entire scheme as set up is fraud, it’s wasteful, it’s abuse”.

According to the report, EPA had recently made a revelation that the Biden administration was allowing just eight entities to distribute $20 billion of taxpayer dollars at their discretion.Included in the funds was a $2 billion grant to Power Forward Communities, a nonprofit with ties to Stacey Abrams, ex-Democratic governorship candidate.

The report said the grant seeks to “reduce impact on the climate by financing the replacement of household appliances in lower-income communities with green alternatives”.

A LinkedIn post by Ian Magruder, who works at one of the coalition’s partners – Rewiring America – stated that Abrams played a pivotal role in establishing the group.

“If you care about clean air, land and water, if you think there are some communities that have been left behind, then why aren’t you spending a dollar actually remediating that issue instead of paying off your friend,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.
