The president and the first lady were set to tour areas devastated by flooding in Central Texas. The administration has faced scrutiny over its level of preparedness and its disaster response.

President Donald Trump travels to Texas on Friday amid growing questions about how local officials responded to the devastating floods, as well as questions about the federal response -- including the fate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- that he has so far avoided.
