By John Siciliano • 8/18/16 5:06 PM
The Obama administration is sending hundreds of federal agents to Louisiana to respond to last weekend's disaster, but don't expect the president to show up, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday.
"The president can't be everywhere," said Johnson, after repeatedly being prodded by reporters at a press conference about a presidential visit. He said the "president is closely monitoring" the situation "and is very much on top of it."
Johnson said President Obama "has a very busy schedule in the fall" and in the coming days and likely won't make the trip.
"I will be briefing the president on the situation that I see here at some point very soon," he said.
