Trump administration says it cut energy project grants over 2024 voting
The administration told a court it paused billions of dollars in funding for energy projects for states that did not back President Trump in the 2024 election.
The New York Times reports that federal officials, in court documents, said they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states based solely on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.
According to the report, the documents describe the funding decision as tied to states political support rather than project criteria, putting the program under legal scrutiny.
The dispute centers on whether federal grant funding for energy work can be conditioned on election outcomes, the New York Times said.
