Sen. John Cornyn flew aboard Air Force One with Trump to Kerrville, Texas, while Attorney General Ken Paxton attended the event to honor flood victims.

President Donald Trump is touring the devastation left by flash flooding in central Texas amid growing questions about how local officials responded to the crisis as well as questions about the federal response -- including the fate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- that he has so far avoided.

President Donald Trump started his week with the devastating news of deadly floods in central Texas while also negotiating a peace deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reports on a week that also saw a reciprocal tariffs deadline move to August and questions over who ordered a Ukraine weapons pause.

Some have argued the Trump administration's NWS cuts led to a forecast that underestimated the amount of rain in Kerr County, Texas.

The White House is defending the National Weather Service and accusing some Democrats of playing politics in the wake of devastating floods in Texas.

Emergency responders continue to search for missing people and local police said efforts have been slowed by "sightseers who are making things worse."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized Sen. Chuck Schumer for spreading "falsehoods" about President Trump's role in Texas flood disaster.

President Donald Trump is expected to visit Central Texas this week. Local officials and forecasters have defended their actions before and after flash floods killed dozens in the region.
