‘CANCELED’: President Trump Issues Massive Blow to Radical Left
The Trump administration has canceled nearly $30 billion in Biden-era clean energy loans and is reviewing another $53 billion as part of a sweeping audit of the Department of Energy’s loan portfolio, Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced Friday.
The decision marks one of the most significant rollbacks yet of President Biden’s green energy agenda and underscores the Trump administration’s effort to redirect federal funding toward what it calls “affordable, reliable, and secure American energy.”
“Over the past year, the Energy Department individually reviewed our entire loan portfolio to ensure the responsible investment of taxpayer dollars,” Wright said in a statement. “We found more dollars were rushed out the door of the Loan Programs Office in the final months of the Biden administration than had been disbursed in over fifteen years.”
The Energy Department’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) — a restructured version of Biden’s Loan Programs Office — said the funds were part of the “Green New Scam loans” that were hastily approved without sufficient oversight.
According to the department, roughly $9.5 billion in loans for wind and solar projects were eliminated outright and will be replaced by investments in natural gas expansion, small modular nuclear reactors, and upgrades to aging power plants. Wright said those changes will make energy “more affordable and less dependent on foreign supply chains.”
“President Trump promised to protect taxpayer dollars and expand America’s supply of affordable, reliable, and secure energy,” Wright said. “Today’s cancellations deliver on that commitment.”
The review follows months of internal restructuring within the Department of Energy.
Since returning to office, the Trump administration has undertaken a broad effort to unwind what officials describe as politically motivated “green slush funds” created under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
More than $25 billion in BIL energy appropriations and $4.3 billion in IRA funds have remained unspent since Biden left office, while another $11 billion in IRA funding was rescinded under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — legislation signed by Trump to reclaim unused climate subsidies and redirect them toward domestic fossil fuel and nuclear development.
A senior Energy Department official said the administration’s review found “systemic failures” in how the Biden White House approved grants and loans in its final year.
“Many of these programs were riddled with conflicts of interest and lacked due diligence,” the official said. “We had companies receiving billions in federal financing that were weeks away from insolvency.”
The scale of the cancellations is unprecedented. Since May 2025, DOE has rescinded or suspended over 340 clean energy awards valued at more than $11 billion, including major industrial demonstration grants and several of Biden’s high-profile Hydrogen Hub projects in California, Oregon, and Minnesota.
In total, nearly 17 percent of all BIL-awarded funds and 7 percent of IRA awards have now been canceled under the Trump administration’s review.
The Energy Department also confirmed that the Industrial Demonstration Program, a Biden-era initiative to subsidize green manufacturing, saw 18 of its 36 approved awards canceled outright — amounting to nearly $3 billion in rescinded commitments.
Wright argued that those programs failed to produce measurable results. “We cannot keep throwing taxpayer money at corporate handouts that don’t deliver energy security or economic value,” he said.
Still, Wright and his team insist the shift reflects a broader realignment of national priorities.
Under President Trump, the Energy Department’s new Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) office holds $289 billion in loan authority, which will prioritize projects tied to nuclear power, carbon capture, and modernized natural gas infrastructure.
In October, the department canceled another $8 billion in green grants, halting 223 projects across 16 states after what Wright called “a thorough, individualized review.” Those funds are now being redirected toward rural energy development, critical mineral extraction, and coal plant modernization efforts.
“Rest assured, the Energy Department will continue reviewing awards to ensure every dollar works for the American people,” Wright said. “The era of blank checks for politically connected green ventures is over.”
'Guilty Of Fraud' - Hammer Dropped On Former First Lady Jill Biden During Live Fox News Segment
McEnany Accuses Jill Biden Of Misleading Americans About Debate Performance
Posted July 15, 2026
Former White House press secretary and Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany accused former first lady Jill Biden of misleading the American public about President Joe Biden’s condition following his widely criticized debate performance during the 2024 campaign.
McEnany made the remarks Thursday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” where she reacted to comments Jill Biden reportedly made in her upcoming book regarding the president’s performance during the debate that ultimately intensified questions about his age and fitness for office.
The discussion began when co-host Dana Perino referenced remarks Jill Biden made immediately following the debate.
At a campaign event after the debate, Jill Biden praised her husband’s performance.
“Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,” she said at the time.
Perino contrasted those comments with more recent claims attributed to Jill Biden and raised questions about the apparent inconsistency.
“So now we know that this is what she’s saying in her book,” Perino said. “And the question I would love to ask her is where are you lying then or now?”
McEnany responded by arguing that Jill Biden’s reaction following the debate was inconsistent with her more recent descriptions of the event.
“It’s a great question,” McEnany said.
“That is not the reaction of someone who believes they just watched their husband have a stroke. It is an absolute lie.”
McEnany then accused the former first lady of concealing concerns about the president’s condition from voters.
“It was fraud,” she said.
“What she did fraud on the American public and she’s continuing it by saying she had never seen him like that before or after.”
The debate between Biden and President Donald Trump became a turning point in the 2024 election cycle, with many Democrats publicly expressing concern about Biden’s performance and his ability to continue his campaign.
Questions about Biden’s age and mental sharpness had circulated for years, but the debate intensified those concerns and fueled calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
During the Fox News discussion, McEnany referenced comments previously made by veteran journalist Carl Bernstein regarding Biden’s condition behind the scenes.
“Dana, you all remember Carl Bernstein, who said he talked to people who knew Joe Biden, loved Joe Biden, supported Joe Biden, and they were adamant that what we saw was not a one-off,” McEnany said.
According to McEnany, Bernstein reported that individuals close to Biden had observed similar episodes before the debate.
“They said it had happened 15 or 20 times prior, him losing his train of thought,” she said.
McEnany also cited a fundraiser Bernstein reportedly described.
“He described a fundraiser where he froze up and seemed to have some type of rigor mortis,” she said.
“This is not something that was a one-off.”
McEnany argued that concerns about Biden’s condition were widely known among those close to him.
“This was well known,” she said.
She then questioned why Jill Biden continued publicly defending her husband following the debate.
“So why did she keep up with the fraud on the American people?” McEnany asked.
The former first lady has repeatedly defended her husband and rejected claims that she or members of his inner circle concealed concerns about his health, Breitbart News reported.
The debate over Biden’s condition became one of the defining political stories of the 2024 election cycle and continued after he ultimately left the race.
McEnany’s comments reflect ongoing scrutiny surrounding what Biden’s family, advisers and top Democratic officials knew about his condition and when they knew it.
Neither Jill Biden nor representatives for the former president immediately responded to McEnany’s latest remarks.
As new books and accounts from those involved continue to emerge, questions surrounding Biden’s final campaign and the decisions made by those closest to him remain a major topic of political debate.
