After failing to get Puerto Rico back on its feet after Hurricane Maria, the Trump Administration has decided to stop issuing public after-action reviews of FEMA’s initial disaster response efforts. The DHS Inspector General has also removed from the FEMA website a dozen positive Obama-era reports that make Obama’s FEMA look better than Trump’s.
Why would DHS take this action?
Acting DHS Inspector General John V. Kelly said the reports, pulled last week from the IG’s web site, didn’t meet proper standards for a government audit.
“We were not confident that the evidence collected (in those reports) was necessary to support the conclusion,” Kelly said in an interview Thursday. “It doesn’t mean the conclusion was wrong (but) our standard is that it has to be adequately supported. You can’t say something without having the evidence even if it’s true” [Ledyard King, “FEMA’s Response to Hurricane Maria Won’t Get Initial Review Under Watchdog Agency’s New Approach,” USA Today, 2018.03.16].
You can’t say something without having the evidence—well! If that’s the Trump Administration’s new policy, more power to them! It will certainly make Trump’s interactions with Prime Minister Trudeau more honest.

As long as we are discussing fact checking claims, the courts just demonstrated that voter fraud claims made by Trump’s crew were false (by having the Trump folks speak). https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/03/kris-kobach-just-got-humiliated-in-federal-court/
