NOAA Says Top Officials Violated Ethics Policy Amid Hurricane Dorian

Top NOAA officials violated ethics by supporting Trump's false claim that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama, known as Sharpie Gate. Trump altered a map with a Sharpie to back his claim. NOAA's Birmingham office contradicted this, stating Alabama was not at risk. NOAA later issued a statement suggesting possible impacts, which investigators found was due to pressure on officials. Jacobs and Roberts, involved in the statement, denied policy violations.
