Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has accused ex-President Donald Trump of attempting to bribe fossil fuel CEOs to overturn President Joe Biden‘s climate policies.
What Happened: Clinton, in a post on Tuesday, cited a Washington Post report that alleged Trump had promised fossil fuel CEOs a reversal of Biden’s climate policies in exchange for $1 billion. She described the bribe as “outrageous” and questioned why Trump had faced so little political backlash for his actions in the past.
Clinton wrote, “I’m still not over Trump promising fossil fuel CEOs that he’ll reverse Biden’s climate action in return for $1 billion. It’s a bribe so outrageous it nearly defies belief—which is why he’s paid so little political cost for these moves in the past. Can we change that dynamic?”
