FEMA Faces Scrutiny Over Alleged Political Bias in Disaster Relief

House Republicans question FEMA administrator on claims of bias against Trump supporters in hurricane aid distribution.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell testified before House committees, denying widespread political bias within the agency.
Former FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington was fired after allegedly instructing staff to avoid homes with Trump signs during hurricane relief efforts.
Criswell stated the incident appears isolated, but an inspector general investigation has been requested to ensure no broader issue exists.
Republicans expressed concerns about potential systemic bias, while Democrats cautioned against misinformation affecting public trust in FEMA.
FEMA has contacted affected communities to rectify the oversight and reaffirmed its commitment to aid all disaster victims impartially.
