Trump was asked whether it was helpful to criticize hurricane relief workers after the Federal Emergency Management Agency recently paused work in the area because of reports they could be targeted by militia.

Former President Donald Trump used a Monday visit to North Carolina to repeat debunked lies about the federal response to Hurricane Helene.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) temporarily paused aid in parts of North Carolina this weekend after alleged threats targeted the agency’s personnel aiding in recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene.

Three weeks after Tropical Storm Helene devastated Western North Carolina, it's clear that the community has stood with one another from the very beginning.

FEMA says it made some "operational adjustments" for safety reasons but said later it would resume normal operations after the threat turned out to be less serious than first feared.

Posts online that say a militia is hunting FEMA workers in North Carolina are false. Police officers arrested a man who made comments about threatening FEMA workers.

FEMA said on Tuesday that it has continued its door-to-door visits in North Carolina following allegations of threats to its personnel in some locations that were hit by Hurricane Helene.

While high-profile Republicans like Donald Trump continue to spread misinformation around hurricane recovery efforts, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced a new program in North Carolina to support survivors and assistance totaling $300 million.
