What started with a tweet intended to encourage residents of states potentially impacted by Hurricane Dorian to stay safe has escalated to a congressional investigation, a flood of reports making increasingly more dramatic claims, and President Trump, again, pushing back on the “fake news” reports based on unnamed sources.
On Wednesday, The New York Times upped the ante on the NOAA Alabama “clarification” story, reporting that unnamed sources from the administration say it was Trump himself who directed his chief of staff to tell Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross to strong-arm the NOAA to “clarify” the controversy over what its analysts were predicting about the potential path of Dorian when Trump first included Alabama as one of the states that could be impacted.
