Can you imagine what $20 billion dollars would look like in a parked car? There would be so much cash that it would be hard to see out the windows. But a reporter said that’s Trump’s EPA guy found tons of money by a financial institution. 

Reporter says Trump’s EPA guy had $20 billion in a parked car 

Fox reporter says Trump’s EPA guy found $20 billion in a parked car, sitting outside of a financial institution. That feels like a pretty risky place to keep an enormous amount of wealth. 

Luckily, according to Yahoo, this claim is false. Fox News anchor, John Roberts, declared that the Environmental Protection Agency Administration, Lee Zeldin, found the money in a car parked near a bank. 

It appears as if Roberts got confused about a report about the EPA chief attempting to rescind grants awarded by the Biden administration for clean-energy projects. Instead, the money is actually parked in an outside financial institution. 

The EPA head has been revoking money that Congress approved years ago and there is zero reason to suspect the bank for any wrongdoing. 

However, he wants the funds back in the EPA’s hands for oversight purposes. Also, the program under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act is known as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. 

No initiatives with $14 billion and $6 billion are intended to offer competitive grants to nonprofits, community development banks, and groups for projects with a focus on disadvantaged communities. 

Zeldin ignored the claim that $20 billion was literally sitting in a parked car. Also, because the funds are no longer being held by the EPA  it has reduced accountability and oversight.
