Citibank says FBI “recommended” that it freeze the accounts of climate grant recipients

New documents in a legal filing from Citibank may shine light on the Trump administration’s anti-climate crusade.

In Wednesday’s court filing, the bank said it had temporarily frozen the accounts of climate grant recipients at the FBI’s recommendation. Citibank said it had been informed by the federal government that the Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which issued the grants, was “subject to an ongoing criminal investigation.” This fund was authorized in 2022 through the Inflation Reduction Act and received $27 billion in funding.


Love that they “recommended” the bank do this. Sounds like mobster talk…

“We recommend you, da bank, freeze deez accounts or something baaad might happen to your nice bank here.”
