President Donald Trump denied disaster assistance for Western Maryland Wednesday that Gov. Wes Moore requested following massive floods that hit the region in May.

Maryland lawmakers called it an insult after the state was denied federal disaster assistance for the damages caused by the historic flooding in Western Maryland in May.

After major flooding struck Western Maryland and West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle earlier this year, prompting responses from water rescue teams in north central West Virginia, officials say the Trump administration has denied their request for FEMA aid.
