Attorney general asks DOGE to investigate Grain Belt Express

Missouri’s Attorney General has asked the Trump administration to investigate a $4.9 billion federal loan awarded to the Grain Belt Express.

The project would construct transmission lines across Missouri to transport wind-generated energy from Kansas to Indiana.

In a letter, Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he wants the Department of Government Efficiency to cancel funding for the Grain Belt Express and that the project is a federal land grab.

There have been frustrations about the project among some rural landowners in Missouri regarding eminent domain. Read the letter.
