A series of tax documents have revealed that Rewiring America, a climate group that Democratic activist Stacey Abrams served as senior counsel for, banked over $5 million in federal climate funding just before President Donald Trump slashed the grant, which came into existence during former President Joe Biden’s administration, earlier in the year. The documentation indicates that Abrams played a much bigger part in getting the grant than she previously claimed.

The $5 million was the first portion of what ultimately ended up being a $2 billion grant awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency in April 2024 to a group called Power Forward Communities, which oversees a coalition led by Abram’s group. The grant was canceled by EPA administrator Lee Zeldin after reports came out revealing Abrams’s connection to Power Forward Communities.

Currently, the $2 billion in federal funds remains in a state of legal limbo. The money is reportedly held by Citibank, with distribution paused as the court battle between the EPA and Power Forward Communities continues.

For Stacey Abrams, who has distanced herself from the daily operations of these groups to focus on other projects, the controversy remains a persistent political shadow. Supporters view the allegations as a coordinated “witch hunt” designed to dismantle clean energy initiatives and discredit a prominent voting rights advocate. Critics, meanwhile, see it as a necessary audit of how billions in taxpayer dollars are distributed to politically connected organizations.

As the 2026 midterms approach, the resolution of these fraud allegations will likely serve as a major talking point for both sides of the aisle. For now, the “gold bars” of the EPA grant remain locked away, pending a final verdict from the courts.
