WATCH: Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Holds Press Briefing LIVE STREAM

 

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will hold a briefing today to discuss the White House’s latest plans and administrative agenda. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. EST.

Much of the discussion is likely to revolve around how Hurricane Harvey relief efforts will transition from rescue to recovery. Sanders says the president will personally donate $1 million to the reconstruction of southeastern Texas, and the government is currently discussing the specifics of a $6 billion package to provide federal emergency assistance.

It also possible that James Comey will come up today after President Trump tweeted a new slam against the former FBI director earlier today. Trump was reacting to the news reports that Comey drafted a statement where he preemptively exonerated Hillary Clinton while he was investigating her email scandal.

Other subjects that may arise include Trump’s reported plan to end the DACA program, his administration’s decision to settle their legal pursuit of a so-called “Muslim ban,” and whether the government will give David Clarke a job after his resignation as Milwaukee County sheriff.
