President Donald Trump travels to Texas on Friday amid growing questions about how local officials responded to the devastating floods, as well as questions about the federal response -- including FEMA's fate -- that he has so far avoided.

President Donald Trump extended a major disaster declaration to more Texas counties ahead of his visit to the flood-ravaged area.

The Trumps are expected to meet with local officials and first responders who are navigating the aftermath of flash floods that devastated the Central Texas community.

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

The homeland security secretary slammed a CNN report detailing how a rule she put in place slowed down FEMA's response to the tragedy.

As devastating floods ripped through Kerr County, Texas, late last week, Noem waited four days to sign off on Urban Search and Rescue crews, approve aerial imaging requested by the state, and bring in additional staff for FEMA’s disaster call center, sources told CNN. The disaster killed at least 120 people and left about 160 missing.

The governor was quick to request federal assistance last week after devastating floods hit the Texas Hill Country.
