President Donald Trump arrived in Texas on Friday to survey the damage caused by flash flooding and to meet with local officials, first responders and relatives of some of the 120 people killed in the July 4 disaster.

President Donald Trump is traveling to central Texas on Friday to survey the aftermath of a catastrophic flood that has killed more than 100 people and put his administration on the sudden defensive over its emergency response efforts.

President Donald Trump met with victims' families and surveyed the damage of catastrophic floods that struck the state one week ago.

Weather warnings predicted devastation from both the Texas floods and Hurricane Helene. But in both disasters, people were left in harm’s way.

The report, citing anonymous sources, suggested FEMA's Texas flood response was delayed as a result of a Trump administration cost-saving rule.
