House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) believes the Biden administration's response to the wildfires on Maui deserves a House investigation as the death toll climbs over 100 with nearly 1,000 people missing.
McCarthy criticized President Joe Biden for his lack of public comment following the Hawaii fires during a Wednesday press conference in New York."We saw the devastation that happened in Maui. … I'm very concerned about the response," McCarthy said."We still have hundreds of individuals that are missing. I think there's going to have to be a congressional investigation into the response on Maui.
Maui officials have confirmed 115 people dead, with approximately 850 to 1,000 people unaccounted for. The wildfires are considered the deadliest in modern U.S. history, burning nearly 3,000 structures with estimated billions of dollars in damage.
