Trump’s $7.6 Billion Energy Project Cuts Draw Federal Probe

The Trump administration’s move to cut $7.6 billion in grants to California and other Democratic-led states has prompted a probe by a federal watchdog.

The Energy Department’s inspector general said it will audit the decision to slash the funding, responding to a request from congressional Democrats who argue the terminations may violate federal law and raise questions about the agency’s ability to meet its financial obligations.
