YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhite House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday bristled at suggestions that deep Trump administration cuts to federal services may have affected authorities’ response to the flooding. She blamed Democrats and said that faulting "President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie" and insisted that the National Weather Service “did its job” in spreading warnings about possible catastrophic flooding.
The White House press secretary is continuing to dispute suggestions that Trump administration cuts to the federal workforce may have hindered federal response to the deadly Texas flooding. She said some Democrats have suggested that, but noted that many media outlets have not followed suit. She didn't name any specific officials making those claims.
Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has spent months working to slash the size of government, but it is unclear what impact those efforts might have had on the federal response to the flooding in Texas.
