Zeldin, in the video posted Wednesday night, said there will be “zero tolerance of any waste and abuse” at the EPA under his administration. He cited “an extremely disturbing video” on X that features a former EPA staffer stating that the Biden administration was “tossing gold bars off the Titanic” in order to spend billions of taxpayer dollars before President Donald Trump took office.
“The days of irresponsibly shoveling boatloads of cash to far-left activist groups in the name of environmental justice and climate equity are over,” Zeldin said. “I’ve directed my team to find your gold bars, and they found them. Now we will get them back inside of control of government as we pursue next steps.”
