Project Veritas has unveiled revealing footage of EPA Advisor Brent Efron discussing an “insurance policy” strategy regarding potential Trump presidency implications.

“It was an insurance policy against Trump winning,” Efron revealed to the undercover Project Veritas journalist.

“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” Efron said.
The EPA advisor disclosed his involvement in distributing over $100 billion in nonprofit grants through Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, marketed as environmental and climate justice initiatives on the EPA’s website.
Efron disclosed that the EPA is hastily distributing funds for programs initially conceived during anticipated Harris administration planning.
“The thing that we haven’t funded yet are [sic] the local nonprofit program that was going to be an inter-Kamala Harris administration program… so now we’re getting it [funding] out as quick as possible. It’s like two billion at this point, we’ve got most of it out – like 90%.”
Key quotes from Brent Efron, Special Advisor for Implementation, Environmental Protection Agency:
“Now it’s how to get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge.”…

Agency personnel are reportedly determined to continue grant distributions until the final possible moment before the potential administration change.
“It’s until the Trump people come in and tell us we can no longer give out money. That’s at the very earliest the 20th [January 2025]. But it’s probably a little bit after because they have to get in the building and tell people what to do.”
According to Efron, they anticipate immediate grant suspension under Trump’s leadership, with possible Congressional intervention to reclaim EPA funds. Their strategy involves rapidly channeling resources to sympathetic nonprofits for local climate policy implementation, establishing what he describes as their insurance against an impending Trump presidency.
