Zeldin Exposes $20 Billion Obama-Biden EPA Slush Fund

In a stunning revelation, EPA Director Lee Zeldin laid out in a new interview with Miranda Devine how Obama and Biden officials turned the Environmental Protection Agency into a slush fund for the left. Officials laundered billions of taxpayer dollars through politically connected nonprofits beyond any meaningful oversight.
On Devine’s “Pod Force One” podcast, Zeldin recalled how the scandal first came to light during his confirmation hearings. A Project Veritas video had caught a Biden EPA employee bragging about the agency “tossing gold bars off the Titanic,” desperately rushing billions of dollars out the door before Donald Trump took office.
“He was also talking about the desire to get themselves jobs at the recipient NGOs,” Zeldin recalled. Republican senators pressed him during confirmation hearings to make uncovering the scheme a priority. “Absolutely, was my response—with great enthusiasm and eagerness.”
Once in office, Zeldin said his team quickly discovered an entrenched network of left-wing corruption. “Basically, every time we overturned a rock, we found something under it that was either filled with self-dealing and conflicts of interest, unqualified recipients, or reduced agency oversight.”
