Veteran prosecutor Denise Cheung did not spell out her reasons for her sudden resignation in an emailed announcement to colleagues that was obtained by The Washington Post, but she praised her co-workers for their “countless” sacrifices in the service of the public and honest law enforcement.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said on X that the agency would seek to revoke contracts for a still-emerging “green bank,” known as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, that is set to fund tens of thousands of projects to fight climate change and promote environmental justice.
