Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a lawsuit against FEMA, accusing the agency of discriminating against Trump supporters in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The lawsuit claims that FEMA officials, including former supervisor Marn'i Washington, conspired to withhold aid from residents displaying Trump campaign signs. Washington was fired for her actions, which FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell condemned as a violation of the agency's principles. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis supports the lawsuit, and Criswell is set to testify before Congress regarding the issue.
