colorado disaster declarations polis trump.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has accused President Donald Trump of playing “political games” after the Trump administration denied disaster declaration requests made by the state. Polis’ office says it received late Saturday letters from the Federal Emergency Management Agency denying state requests for major disaster declarations following fires and flooding in Colorado earlier this year. Polis says the state will appeal the denials. A White House spokesperson says there is “no politicization” to Trump’s decisions on disaster aid.
