Trump-Moore clash over Potomac sewage spill cleanup
TL;DR
Trump pressed FEMA involvement and accused Maryland's governor and local officials of mismanaging the Potomac River sewage spill, while Gov. Wes Moore said the federal government has failed to act and pointed to DC Water as the responsible entity; bypass pumps are preventing further spills as crews work on a rock blockage, with repairs expected to take 4–6 weeks, and the public advised to avoid the river even as upstream drinking water remains safe.
