Adviser Gives Trump Cover on Hurricane Claim

“One of President Trump’s top advisers on Hurricane Dorian issued a lengthy statement on Thursday defending the president’s repeated claims that forecasts showed Alabama getting hit by Hurricane Dorian, adding another twist to the days-long effort to justify Trump’s claim,” The Hill reports.

“The White House circulated a statement on official letterhead from Rear Adm. Peter Brown, a Homeland Security and counterterrorism adviser, who said he briefed Trump multiple times about Dorian as well as models that showed the potential path of the eye of the storm.”
