New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid

The Trump administration also obstructed an investigation looking into why it was depriving the U.S. territory of congressionally approved funds, the report found.

It all started after 2018 when OMB began requiring HUD to send grant notices for disaster funds through an interagency review process for approval, making it hard for HUD to publish the notices needed to unlock funding in a timely manner. Investigators found that OMB had never before required such a review process for a notice allocating recovery funds.

Investigators said they were unable to obtain testimonies from officials who ordered the interagency review process. Former HUD Secretary Ben Carson and another former HUD official also declined to be interviewed by investigators. However, investigators were able to interview 20 current and former HUD officials and two Puerto Rico housing officials.its oversight authorities do not allow for a review or official opinion of actions taken by Trump administration officials.

Again I’m baffled how Hispanic and Latino Americans support trump wholeheartedly🤦‍♀️

I wonder what part line this HUD inspector general belongs too. We can’t believe any report coming from Democrat elected officials, they’re corrupt.

Display the action. I don't wana see you blab about it. I wana see that order or action. You have been called out MSNBC. Show me. If you can.

🤬🤬🤬

Should be a state.

Gee that's mystery Why would a white supremacist keep brown people from getting help? There should be an expensive investigation into this.....

Of course he did he didnt like him so...

he also left a 32.1 million$ in debt on a failed golf venture..of course declaring bankruptcy. Needs to be held accountable.

There were some very bad people in the Trump administrstion who not surprisingly did very bad things.

Yeah, there was a lot of water, big water that kept the help away.

What made them think no one would catch them depriving puerto rico from getting the aide they needed and deserved?

This is my shocked face. Didn’t we already know this at the time when he was throwing paper towels at people and playing hide-n-go seek with the water? Big shout out to BLMTampa for making frequent trips to PR with supplies of substance.

Oh well. He killed more than 560,000 Americans with COVID..... it won’t matter that he killed hundreds of thousands of PR citizens by withholding aid.

SenKateHuff President Biden has now released funds and the restrictions that had been placed on their use.
