Key Figures

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced termination of the $20 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund just before a scheduled court hearing in Climate United Fund v. Citibank. Citibank had already frozen grantee accounts after a Trump administration order, blocking nonprofits like Climate United Fund, Coalition for Green Capital, and Power Forward Communities from accessing IRA section 60103 funds. The DC District Court granted a preliminary injunction on April 15, 2025, but the DC Circuit set it aside on September 2, 2025.

Hours after a magistrate judge warned Trump not to intimidate witnesses in his federal election case, Trump posted on Truth Social in all-caps: "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!" The DOJ asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to impose a protective order, citing the post as potential witness intimidation. One day later, on August 5, Texas resident Abigail Jo Shry called Chutkan's chambers and left a voicemail: "You are in our sights, we want to kill you. Trump doesn't get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you." Shry was arrested August 17 and charged with threatening a federal judge. The incident demonstrated how Trump's social media threats translated directly into real-world violence threats against judicial officers.
