U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the Trump administration's EPA unlawfully terminated $20 billion in grants for clean energy projects, favoring nonprofits in the case. The judge ordered Citibank to release the funds, emphasizing that the EPA failed to provide evidence of fraud allegations. The grants, established under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, support initiatives aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and promoting clean energy. The ruling counters the EPA's claims of mismanagement and highlights the legal framework for terminating such grants in the future.
