Federal Emergency Management Agency leader David Richardson, making a rare public appearance, visited the site of deadly flash flooding in Texas in a trip that was neither announced nor promoted beyond five government photos on social media.
Richardson’s trip Saturday to Kerr County, Texas, where at least 132 people were killed, was his first known visit to a disaster site since President Donald Trump named him FEMA acting administrator May 8 after firing his first agency acting administrator.
The visit came amid ongoing questions about Richardson, a former Marine officer with a background in weapons of mass destruction and no apparent emergency management experience.
