President Donald Trump’s Department of Transportation (DOT) has purged 3,200 grants, left behind by President Joe Biden, of various social justice and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, while clearing a backlog of funding to kickstart infrastructure projects, the Daily Caller has learned.
The DOT is planning to announce Tuesday that they have awarded 180 of the 3,200 infrastructure grants that were previously backlogged under the Biden administration, according to materials shared with the Caller. The grants were previously under review by the department for social justice, DEI and Green New Deal initiatives, the Caller previously reported. With the Department’s Tuesday action, some of the 3,200 grants backlogged, totaling more than $3.2 billion, have been awarded for various projects but stripped of any social justice, DEI and Green New Deal elements, according to materials shared with the Caller.
