EXCLUSIVE: Republican legislators are asking the Trump administration to investigate the dismissal of President Biden of a lawsuit claiming millions in fraud of a green energy project on the day after the 2024 elections.
In 2011, the Treasury Department of President Barack Obama awarded Obopah Solar Energy, llc hundreds of millions of dollars for the construction of a Green Energy Solar Plant, the Solar Energy Project Dunes Crescent, in Nevada.
However, the Energy Group was finally demanded by CMB Export, LLC for alleged fraud that involves approximately $ 275 million from taxpayers in a demand for Qui Tam, which is a case in the name of the government that claims fraud against federal programs . The case was being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ), until the Biden Administration presented a motion to dismiss the demand on November 6, 2024, the day after the presidential elections.
In a letter to the Attorney General Pam Bondi, obtained first by Fox News Digital, Republican Republican Republicans Lance Gooden, R-Texas, and Carol Miller, RW.VA., are playing the alarm on the decision of the previous administration to stop the recovery Taxpayer’s funds potential.

“Despite investing three and a half years in the investigation of this case, it is deeply worrying that the Department of Justice revoked its position shortly after the presidential elections, claiming that the dismissal was of public interest and cited undue charges in federal agencies “, reads in the letter. “This decision is disconcerting, since the government does not lose anything by allowing CMB export, LLC, to proceed with the case.”
The letter requests that Bondi investigates the justification of the Biden Administration for dismissal, possible conflicts of interest, the timeline of the events and the responsibility with respect to the possible use of the taxpayers’ funds.

“The American people deeply rejected the New Deal Radical Green New Defish agenda of the Biden administration and fraudulent cover -ups 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 US taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, produced less energy than promised and raised security concerns for people working on the project. With the president Trump in the White House, transparency is now the standard for the federal government. “

The Biden Department of Justice said that the dismissal was “according to the public interest”, and that the obligations of litigation would impose “an undue burden” to the government, two claims that are being questioned in the new letter.
The letter asks if there is any evidence that the moment of the motion was politically influenced, arriving just after the loss of the elections, and if the decision of the Department of Justice to dismiss a case that seeks to recover the dollars of the taxpayers enters into Conflict with your responsibility to maintain responsibility in cases of cases of cases of cases of cases of cases of cases of cases of cases. alleged fraud against the government.
“The accusations in this case represent not only potential financial fraud but a violation of public confidence,” republican legislators wrote. “The Crescent Dunes project, such as other failed initiatives of ‘Green Energy’, has already cost taxpayers to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the dismissal of this case raised serious concerns about the commitment of the previous administration to protect the funds public and fraud prosecution. “
