NYC supervisor Brad Lander, a candidate for mayor who is fighting for Adam’s place, said Trump’s administration “stole” funds.

Sending our congress, the money approved by FEMA, there was nothing more than an attempt to retaliate against illegate, all of which could have made it from Trump’s. Congressed funds approved, this action has harmed taxpayers and working families and forcing the City to reduce services if not reverse, “Lander said in a statement after the verdict on Wednesday.
