[Lee] Zeldin was born in East Meadow, New York, the son of Merrill Schwartz and David Zeldin.[4][5] He was raised in Suffolk County, New York,[6] and graduated from William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach, New York, in 1998.[7] He also attended Hebrew school.[8]

Zeldin received a bachelor's degree in political science from the SUNY University at Albany in 2001.[7][9] He received a Juris Doctor from Albany Law School in May 2003.[5][7] In 2004, he was admitted to the New York State Bar, becoming the youngest attorney in New York at the time.[10][11]

Zeldin received an Army ROTC commission as a second lieutenant, and served in the United States Army from 2003 to 2007,[8][12] where he initially joined the Military Intelligence Corps.[8] In 2007, he transitioned from active duty to the Army Reserve, where he achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel before his retirement on April 30, 2025.[6][13]

In 2007, Zeldin became an attorney for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.[14] In 2008, he started a general-practice law firm in Smithtown, New York. He operated it full-time until he was elected to New York's 3rd State Senate district in 2010.[6] ....

On February 1, 2020, days before the conclusion of Trump's first impeachment trial, Zeldin opined that Republicans should expunge the impeachment if they won a House majority in the upcoming 2020 House elections, tweeting, "The House of Representatives should EXPUNGE this sham impeachment in January 2021!"[117][118]

After Trump lost the 2020 presidential election and made false claims of fraud, Zeldin was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus curiae in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the election, in which Biden defeated Trump.[119]

After the 2021 United States Capitol attack, Zeldin voted against certification of Arizona's and Pennsylvania's electoral votes.[124][125][126][127]

During his confirmation hearing for EPA Director, Zeldin stated that climate change is a real issue and needs to be addressed.[56] He was confirmed by the Senate on January 29, in a 56–42 vote.[183] Democratic Senators John Fetterman, Mark Kelly, and Ruben Gallego joined all Republicans in voting for Zeldin.

In July 2025, Zeldin announced a repeal of the endangerment finding, which declares greenhouse gases a public health threat and which forms the basis of the government's legal authority to act on climate change.[191][55] Zeldin described this as "the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States."[192] The formal process of repealing the endangerment finding was finalized by President Donald Trump on February 12, 2026.[193]

2. So ... we need to know whether his name appears in the Epstein documents?

If not, why did Chump pick him?

He just doesn't care that it is a threat.

4. My gut tells me that since he threw Noem...

and Bondi under the bus his people will realize that loyalty buys them nothing. As much of an ass Zeldin is I think he is too smart to risk prison for trump.
I’m convinced that this is the part it all starts to fall apart for him.

6. If he's smart enough to figure that out, he's probably too smart to work for Chump

I'm all in favor of having intelligent people for Attorney General, but it's going to be an impossible job.

Of course, if he's as corrupt as Bondi and Chump are, then welcome to the clown show.

5. Thought he might give it to Lindsey Graham.
