Trump demands DOGE claw back $2 BILLION given to Stacey Abrams’ ‘environmental fund’ before he took office

"Whatever happened to the $8,000,000 given by our 'government' to Radical Left Politico magazine, or whatever you would call it. Owned by wealthy guys, this money should be taken back by DOGE, ASAP," Trump wrote. "Also, is Stacey Abrams going to give back the Two Billion Dollars they funneled into her 'environmental fund' just prior to my assuming office. She went from $100 in donations to $2,000,000,000 in just one day? Not bad!!! Get back the money."

In April 2024, the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that Power Forward Communities had been awarded $2 billion under the National Clean Investment Fund. According to the Washington Free Beacon, Power Forward Communities reported just $100 total in revenue in its first three months of operation.

The coalition of groups was established in October 2023, and is led by Rewiring America. Rewiring America is a left-wing group that advocates for a transition away from fossil fuel dependence. Abrams serves as Rewiring America’s senior counsel.

Abrams wrote in an October 2023 post, "Thrilled to be part of Rewiring America and the Power Forward Communities coalition. This is how we expand access to clean energy —by prioritizing housing, equity and resilience. We are building a future where everyone, regardless of income or place, can thrive."

The Power Forward Communities grant was one of eight grants the EPA approved in April of 2024 that totaled $20 billion. In February, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin vowed to get this money back.

"Roughly twenty billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight," said Administrator Zeldin.
