During a briefing on Hurricane Dorian in the Oval Office Wednesday, President Trump showed reporters an enlarged map displaying what he said was the initial forecasted path of the storm.
Taking questions from journalists at a separate event on efforts to combat the opioid epidemic Wednesday, Trump was asked if he knew if the map had been altered. He said there had been a “95 percent probability” of Dorian’s path going through Alabama, “but then it made that right turn that a lot of people didn’t expect.”
