As Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell on Wednesday warned of “catastrophic impacts” from Hurricane Milton, she and the federal government are also fighting misinformation about this storm and the recovery effort from Hurricane Helene.
Some of the claims come from former President Donald Trump, lawmakers in Congress and others online, indicating that FEMA and the federal government are untrustworthy and misusing response funds.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday there has been a “reckless, irresponsible and relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies.”
