FEMA withheld pre-disaster money before Hurricane Helene and has been painfully slow in giving first responders deployment orders, multiple whistleblowers allege in a damning new letter.
The bombshell allegations of mismanagement at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) come just days after the agency took a beating for its boss Alejandro Mayorkas admitting it will not be able to foot the bill for this historic hurricane season.
Now a whistleblower from FEMA, including others on the state and local level are telling Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., that the department has wasted and misappropriated funds in the wake of Helene, which is 'exacerbating the emergency.'
