Donald Trump overruled his own administration to block the release of federal disaster aid to four Democratic-led states that did not vote for him in the 2024 election, according to a report. 

Emails and documents obtained by Politico reveal the president stepped in to deny relief to New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island after the states saw record-breaking snowfall in February. 

Trump intervened to deny federal disaster aid to the states, even though each had met the thresholds set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to qualify for relief following the extreme snowfall.
