<br>Denise Cheung, the head of the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., resigned on Tuesday after refusing to initiate a criminal investigation into a Biden-era environmental contract. Cheung stated in her resignation letter that she believed there was insufficient evidence to support such an investigation. The contract in question involves multibillion-dollar green banking programs created by the Biden administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist low-income and minority communities in investing in clean energy. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has accused the program of fraud and sought to reclaim its funds, despite a lack of substantiating evidence. In response to Cheung's resignation, four Democratic senators have called for an investigation into what they describe as political interference by the Trump administration in the Justice Department's operations.
