ROBERT KNIGHT — In early January, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) overturned a longstanding policy that forbade churches from getting federal disaster relief money. The rule change by the Trump administration affected any houses of worship that were damaged on or after August 23, just before Hurricane Harvey devastated large areas of Texas and especially the Houston area.

Members and staff in both House and Senate know the answer. But it is classified, and they can't talk.... (more)
