Exclusive: Republican legislators call the Trump administration To investigate the resignation of President Biden of a lawsuit that claims millions of fraud from a Green Energy project the day after the 2024 elections.
In 2011, President Barack Obama’s Treasury Department Tonopah Solar Energy, LLC granted hundreds of millions of dollars for the construction of a green Energy Solar installation, the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project, in Nevada.
However, the energy group was ultimately charged by CMB Export, LLC due to alleged fraud with around $ 275 million in taxpayers in a Qui Tam right case, which is a case on behalf of the government that claims fraud against federal programs. The case was examined by the Ministry of Justice (Doj), until the BIDEN administration has submitted a motion to dismiss the court case on November 6, 2024 – the day after the presidential election.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, first obtained by FOX News Digital, Republican representatives Lance Goolden, R-Texas and Carol Miller, R.VA. taxpayers.

“Despite investing three and a half years in investigating this case, it is deeply disturbing that the DOJ has reversed its position shortly after the presidential election, and claimed that the dismissal was in the public interest and quoted unnecessary charges for federal agencies , “is the letter. “This decision is confusing, since the government does not lose anything by CMB Export, LLC, to continue with the case.”
The letter asks that Bondi de Biden Administrations Rationale for dismissal, possible conflicts of interest, timeline of events and accountability with regard to the possible abuse of tax payment funds.

“The American people thoroughly rejected the radical green New Deal agenda and fraudulent cover -ups of the Biden when they voted for President Trump,” Miller told Fox News Digital. “Our understanding is that the Crescent Dunes project was an energy proposal that cost American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, produced less energy than promised and the safety problems were for people who worked on the project. With President Trump back in the White House is now is transparency The standard for the federal government “

The Biden Doj claimed that the dismissal was ‘proportional to the public interest’, and that procedural obligations would ‘impose an inappropriate burden’ on the government, two claims that are questioned in the new letter.
The letter asks whether there is any evidence that the timing of the motion was influenced politically, immediately after the loss of election, and whether the decision of the DOJ to reject a case that the taxpayer dollars has alleged fraud against the government.
“The allegations in this case not only represent potential financial fraud, but also a violation of public trust”, the Republican legislators wrote. “The Crescent Dunes project, like other failed ‘green energy’ initiatives, has already cost hundreds of millions of dollars taxpayers, and the dismissal of this case has expressed serious concern about the dedication of the previous administration to protect public funds and fraud to continue. “
