White House Calls Trump's FEMA Claim 'Categorically False'; Fact-Checkers Note Trump Diverted FEMA Funds
Oct 4, 2024, 06:07 PM
The Biden administration has denied former President Donald Trump's allegations that it is diverting Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to support undocumented migrants, thereby depleting resources for disaster relief. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the claims "categorically false" and "a false statement." Fact-checkers, including The Washington Post, have debunked Trump's assertions, with headlines stating, "No, Biden didn't take FEMA relief money to use on migrants—but Trump did." Reports highlight that during his presidency, Trump redirected FEMA funds to other immigration-related initiatives. FEMA officials have also confirmed that disaster relief funding remains unaffected and is fully available for hurricane survivors.
