The White House is defending the National Weather Service and accusing some Democrats of playing politics in the wake of devastating floods in Texas.

Emergency responders continue to search for missing people and local police said efforts have been slowed by "sightseers who are making things worse."

The president met with state and local officials, who praised the White House response, and lashed out at a question on whether aid and rescue efforts occurred fast enough.

President Donald Trump was expected to arrive in Kerr County, Texas, Friday afternoon, one week after the area was struck by catastrophic flooding.

Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized Sen. Chuck Schumer for spreading "falsehoods" about President Trump's role in Texas flood disaster.

President Donald Trump is expected to visit Central Texas this week. Local officials and forecasters have defended their actions before and after flash floods killed dozens in the region.

According to the MSNBC host, the president’s comments about the decor reveal exactly where his “head is at” as rescue efforts continue.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said "blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie" to those who've questioned whether federal cuts impacted forecasting abilities.
