Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific claim that federal disaster relief funds were withheld from Colorado due to political motivations, which is verifiable and materially misleading if inaccurate
What we foundThe Trump administration denied Colorado's requests for federal disaster declarations for wildfires and flooding while Trump was publicly pressing for Tina Peters's release. Colorado officials, including Attorney General Phil Weiser, call the denials retribution over Peters; the White House denies any link. What was denied was disaster declarations, not money already appropriated.
