Five months after Republicans accused the Biden administration of deliberately denying disaster aid to Donald Trump supporters in Florida, a federal investigation has cleared former administration officials of wrongdoing, a new document shows.
The investigation found “no evidence” the Federal Emergency Management Agency ordered employees to skip homes displaying support for Trump as they were going door-to-door in October to help victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Republicans in Congress and in Florida assailed FEMA after an agency employee directed a small FEMA disaster team to avoid pro-Trump houses in a central Florida community and said she was “simply following orders.”
Trump noted the employee’s accusation in a January executive order. It created a council to review FEMA and claimed “there are serious concerns of political bias in FEMA.”
