Trump's hiring, budget raises questions about U.S. Harvey help

Trump has proposed vast budget cuts and leaving some leadership positions unfilled at agencies involved in disaster management. His Republican allies on Capitol Hill proposed spending some of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster money to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
