"Trump Heads To Ohio As Biden Critics Assail Wreck Response"

"Former President Donald Trump is slated to visit East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday as the 2024 presidential candidate and others intensify their criticism of the Biden administration’s response to the environmental disaster caused by a derailed train.

The former president has joined a chorus of critics, including conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson, GOP Sen. Marco Rubio, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, in questioning the administration’s handling of the chemical disaster.

The high-profile criticism of the administration’s response — including pressure from allies to do more — suggests that the scrutiny over the train derailment’s causes and disastrous aftermath is just getting started. Capitol Hill lawmakers are demanding answers and have announced an upcoming hearing to examine the aftermath of the wreck."
