An internal Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) investigation found “no evidence” that a directive to hurricane relief workers to avoid the homes of President-elect Donald Trump’s supporters came from senior agency officials, according to FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell.

The statement follows backlash over the revelation that a FEMA supervisor ordered Hurricane Milton relief workers canvassing in Lake Placid, Florida, to “avoid homes advertising Trump.”
