LATEST UPDATE: Karoline Leavitt Confirms Trump Will Cover Funeral Costs and Provide Compensation for Texas Flood Victims
In an official statement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Donald Trump has personally stepped in to help the families affected by the tragic flash floods that struck Central Texas on Sunday afternoon.
According to Leavitt, President Trump has pledged to cover all funeral expenses for the victims who lost their lives in the devastating floods. In addition to paying for funeral costs, he will also provide financial assistance and emotional support compensation to the victims’ families, helping them recover from both financial loss and emotional trauma.
Leavitt addressed the nation to reject allegations that the administration failed to warn residents in time. She firmly stated that the National Weather Service did issue forecasts and alerts before the flash floods hit, but the scale of the disaster overwhelmed many communities.
“The President and his team are deeply saddened by this tragedy. By covering funeral costs and offering direct support to affected families, President Trump wants to ensure that no family faces this heartbreak alone,” Leavitt said.
She added that the White House is working closely with local authorities in Central Texas to assess damage, deliver aid, and coordinate longer-term recovery plans. President Trump is also expected to visit the impacted areas to meet with families, volunteers, and local leaders to show his support in person.
This gesture aims to help families begin rebuilding their lives after the sudden floods claimed lives, destroyed property, and caused massive financial hardship for thousands of Texans.
The President’s actions have been welcomed by many who see this as a clear sign of compassion and responsibility in difficult times.
This update highlights President Trump’s commitment to standing with American families during natural disasters, and his promise that victims will not be left behind as Texas recovers from this devastating flood.
