Helene recovery complicated by lies and conspiracy theories

Season 2024 Episode 282 | 6m 55s

Former President Trump has for several days now spread lies and spouted conspiracy theories about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene.

Geoff Bennett discussed this with Juliette Kayyem, former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.
