Sarah Sanders begs her old boss Trump
to reconsider after president rejects
Arkansas’ request for disaster relief
funds
23 April 2025
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders
has begged President Donald Trump to
reconsider his rejection of her
request for disaster relief funds
after tornadoes devastated her state
last month.
The former Trump White House press
secretary wrote to Trump in March
after storms ravaged the state,
killing three people.
Sanders, who often sparred with
journalists in the press room as
White House Press Secretary during
Trump’s first administration,
declared a state of emergency and
asked her former boss to declare
a major disaster so the state
could secure a federal handout.
But the Trump administration
rejected the request and said the
damage could be handled by the
state.
In an appeal to Trump, her former
boss, Sanders and the Arkansas
Division of Emergency Management
wrote again on April 18 and
pleaded with the president that
Arkansas is “in dire need of
federal assistance.” >https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/sarah-sand >ers-arkansas-storms-b2738058.html
