Epstein Files Probe Intensifies
Though not directly an EPA story, a related Justice Department angle ties in: on March 8, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a new batch of Jeffrey Epstein documents had been delivered to the DOJ, overlapping with EPA scrutiny due to shared federal oversight questions. Earlier in the week, Zeldin demanded the EPA’s inspector general investigate $20 billion in Biden-era climate grants, alleging lax oversight. While distinct, these developments reflect a broader Trump administration push—echoed by Zeldin’s EPA—to probe past federal spending, with Bondi’s Epstein update amplifying the narrative of accountability that Zeldin’s team has leaned into via social media and policy.
