Judge Demands Evidence from Trump EPA on Climate Grants
A federal judge has questioned the Trump administration’s abrupt cancellation of billions of dollars in climate research grants, demanding evidence of wrongdoing to justify such drastic action. The EPA, under administrator Lee Zeldin, cited unspecified regulations in the termination letters, a claim deemed insufficient by the judge. Climate United, one of several groups suing over the cancellations, argues the EPA failed to follow proper legal procedures. The judge requested further filings from both parties, leaving the fate of the grants and the lawsuits unresolved.
