Denise Cheung, head of the criminal division at the U.S. attorney's office in D.C., resigned after refusing to comply with the Trump administration's demand to freeze assets connected to a Biden-era environmental initiative. Her departure followed disagreements with interim U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin over the legal approach to an investigation concerning the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced intentions to rescind $20 billion in grants aimed at combating climate change, escalating the legal and ethical conflicts within the Justice Department regarding these initiatives.
This office is a special place. I took an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, and I have executed this duty faithfully.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the agency would seek to revoke contracts for a still-emerging green bank, known as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
