Joe Biden and Donald Trump
US President Joe Biden hit out at former President Donald Trump on Sunday over the alleged mismanagement of funds for the victims of Hurricane âHelene' that struck the southeastern US in late September leaving hundreds of people dead and many injured.
Criticising Trump further, Biden outlined publications from leading US media outlets that the former US President, during his administration had re-allocated funds for the migrants entering the US. Sharing an article in âThe Washington Post', an American daily, Biden wrote on X, "Once again, Donald Trump is a liar. He's the guy who redirected relief funds as president."
"We are moving heaven and earth to make sure that everyone affected by Hurricane Helene gets what they need," he further wrote. Tropical cyclone Helene developed in late September and lasted for four days.

The death toll from Hurricane Helene inched up to 227 as the grim task of recovering bodies continued more than a week after the monster storm ravaged the southeast and killed people in six US states. Helene came ashore on September 26 as a Category-4 hurricane washing away homes, destroying roads and knocking out electricity and cellphone service for millions. It was still unclear how many people were unaccounted for or missing, and the toll could rise even higher.
