Senior Prosecutor Exits Over EPA Funding Probe Clash

In Washington, D.C., a top prosecutor exited after clashing with Trump officials over an EPA grant funds investigation. Denise Cheung, head of the criminal division, resigned instead of pursuing a grand jury investigation into a dubious multibillion-dollar grant linked to possible fraud under the Biden administration. This conflict with interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin highlights deep-rooted tensions. Adding intrigue, former EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recently spotlighted $20 billion in mismanaged funds shortly before Trump's presidency, alleging financial missteps without implicating banks.
