The watchdog group Project Veritas captured an EPA special advisor bragging that he was sending tens of billions of dollars in grants to climate nonprofits as “an insurance policy” against Trump’s promises to turn off the spigot on such funding.
Brent Efron brags that he is thrilled to be giving money to groups he would ‘find really cool” to soon go work for – a clear conflict of interest.
Efron even laughingly equates the frantic effort to throw so much money out the EPA’s door to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic.” All of it is an effort that will keep going until the last possible minute – that is when “the Trump people come in and tell us we cannot give out money.”
