Florida AG vows to reveal the truth in FEMA bias allegations scandal.
FEMA is being sued by Florida for alleged instructions given to workers to overlook Trump-backing homes.
The Florida Attorney General, Ashley Moody, reacted to allegations that FEMA workers in certain areas of Florida were instructed to overlook the homes of hurricane victims who showed support for President-elect Donald Trump.
The alleged bias at FEMA has led to discrimination against Trump supporters, and it is expected that this issue will extend beyond Florida to other states and affected areas, according to Moody.
Some whistleblowers claimed that FEMA workers in Lake Placid, Florida, were instructed to overlook households of storm victims who displayed support for Trump.
I wanted to bring the suit quickly due to the hurricane season and to prevent discrimination against any political supporters, including Trump supporters. Additionally, we aimed to uncover the widespread policy if former FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington's statement is true.
Marn'i Washington, a former FEMA supervisor who was terminated, asserted that her actions were in accordance with the agency's instructions and not limited to her team. She accused FEMA of making her a scapegoat.
"Moody stated that Trump has consistently maintained this viewpoint, emphasizing that the individuals in question are not only targeting him but also the general public, and he intends to put an end to it."
Moody stated that the "criminal" aspect of this case could potentially be addressed during the upcoming Trump administration.
"FEMA workers adhered to instructions and entered messages into a government database, including 'Trump sign no entry per leadership,' according to the lawsuit." "Whistleblowers allege that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags in Lake Placid, Florida, were overlooked from October to November due to guidance."
