Trump defends taking money from FEMA after hurricane briefing: 'We need the help on the border'

President Donald Trump reportedly defended taking money earmarked for the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and using it to enforce his anti-immigration agenda.

The remarks were made as the president returned from a meeting with DHS officials to get updates on the devastation from Hurricane Dorian.

According to White House pool reporter Josh Wingrove, Trump said stripping money from FEMA was appropriate because "[w]e need help on the border."

Trump's comments come as Dorian, now a Category 2 hurricane, threatens millions along the East coast.
