Watchdog Targets Ex-Biden Official With Ethics Complaint Over $5 Billion EPA ‘Greendoggle’
Story by Nick Pope - DCNF • 10h

A government watchdog group filed an ethics complaint Friday against a former Biden-Harris Administration official who now sits on the board of a green organization selected for receipt of billions of taxpayer dollars by the Biden Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) alleges in the complaint that David Hayes — a Democrat insider who worked in the Biden White House as a climate advisor — may have violated ethics rules in re-joining the board of the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC) in 2023 as it was applying for billions of EPA dollars that the Biden administration eventually awarded to the organization in April 2024.
 
The government watchdog group filed a similar complaint highlighting many of the same concerns in June 2024, but is re-filing the complaint with the Trump EPA and Trump White House Office of Legal Counsel with additional information about the program in question, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), that has come to light in the time since.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
