As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump has taken to criticizing Maryland Gov. Wes Moore for his handling of the spill. Mayor Muriel Bowser has formally requested federal assistance. Karoline Leavitt has emphasized the need for local cooperation. The rhetoric surrounding the leak has become a familiar back-and-forth between the Trump administration and local leaders. The scene is set for a familiar performance: a declaration of emergency, a request for federal aid, and a blame game between officials.
