Markwayne Mullin, nominated for Homeland Security, plans to revoke a policy slowing disaster aid.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (74/100).
The claims regarding Markwayne Mullin's intention to revoke a policy, Kristi Noem's approval requirements, and the impact on FEMA projects are supported by multiple sources. Mullin has publicly stated his intention to revoke the policy, which has been criticized for causing delays. Noem's policy requiring approval for contracts over $100,000 is confirmed by several reports, and its impact on FEMA project delays is documented. The claim about FEMA shedding employees under Noem lacks strong evidence, while the Trump administration's exploration of abolishing FEMA is supported by credible sources.
