White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is holding her regular news briefing in the White House now.<\/p>\n

She started by confirming that 91 people have now died in the floods – one more than we previously knew.<\/p>\n

Leavitt talked up US President Donald Trump’s response to the floods, and said the administration was “working hand in glove” with state and local officials.<\/p>\n

“The situation on the ground remains dangerous, and there could be additional public safety threats with additional incoming heavy rain,” she said.<\/p>\n

After laying out the updated death toll, Leavitt took aim at Trump’s critics.<\/p>\n

She said it was a “depraved lie” that he was responsible for any issues responding to the flash floods.<\/p>\n

“Any person who has deliberately lied about the facts around the catastrophic event, you should be deeply ashamed,” Levitt added.<\/p>\n

Trump to visit ‘later in the week’<\/b><\/p>\n

She also said that Trump was going to visit Texas “later in the week.”<\/p>\n

Previously, Trump said it was likely he would visit on Friday.<\/p>\n

Brian Glenn, read more on the right-wing reporter here<\/b>, asking the first question, asked Leavitt about the US president’s travel plans to head to Texas.<\/p>\n

Leavitt said: “The White House is currently arranging those travel plans, we hope that it will be later this week, likely on Friday.<\/p>\n

“But we want to do it for the most appropriate time on the ground for state and local officials, we don’t want ot interrupt the local efforts.<\/p>\n

“We’re planning tentatively for Friday.”<\/p>\n

‘Depraved and despicable’ <\/b><\/p>\n

Glenn then asked questions over whether Trump’s cuts to the National Weather Service affected its forecasting and warning ability.<\/p>\n

Leavitt described such claims as “depraved and despicable”.<\/p>\n

Such fierce criticism is something we often hear from her when targeting the media and Trump’s political enemies.<\/p>\n

“It is not [a political game], it is a national tragedy,” Leavitt said.<\/p>\n

The press secretary also claimed, contrary to some weather bases being understaffed, one place actually had “too many people”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
