'Americans are in harm's way and the president is laser-focused on ... covering up a small mistake he made,' the former FBI director wrote.
Trump continued to double-down in his claim on Thursday, despite the storm having already devastated the Bahamas, taken a sharp northern turn to skirt along the coasts of Florida and Georgia and looks as though it may make landfall again in the Carolinas. In a series of tweets, he said"certain models strongly suggested that Alabama & Georgia would be hit" when it was projected to directly hit South Florida.
But an official National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast for Dorian's track and intensity did not predict the hurricane's path that far into the future, showing it would potentially hit around West Palm and the middle of the state. The president on Wednesday showed the nearly week-old projection to reporters in the Oval Office, which appeared to be altered with a sharpie.
President Donald Trump references a map held by acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan while talking to reporters following a briefing from officials about Hurricane Dorian in the Oval Office at the White House September 4 in Washington, DC. The map was a forecast from August 29 and appears to have been altered by a black marker to extend the hurricane's range to include Alabama.
