Slush fund handled by John Podesta gave billions to charities founded only months earlier

The Biden administration has directed at least $20 billion to new environmental groups. A significant portion went to the Climate United Fund, which received nearly $7 billion despite being incorporated only five months prior. While it aims to deliver benefits like cleaner air and energy security, no public accounting exists for its spending plans.

Concerns have been raised about using newly established groups rather than existing charities. Ongoing investigations by the FBI and DOJ focus on the financial distributions, amid claims of mismanagement. The EPA's new chief, Lee Zeldin, is seeking to recover funds deemed to lack proper oversight.
