US president accuses predecessor of leading ‘onslaught of lies’ about government’s response to the storms.
United States President Joe Biden has condemned misinformation about Hurricanes Milton and Helene as “un-American”, singling out his predecessor for making false claims about the government’s rescue and recovery efforts.
Speaking as Hurricane Milton was on the verge of making landfall in Florida on Wednesday, Biden said people in need of help were being put at risk by the “reckless, irresponsible and relentless” promotion of disinformation about the government’s response to the storms.
“Quite frankly, these lies are un-American,” Biden said in remarks at the White House.
“Former President Trump has led this onslaught of lies.”
