What is happening in Lahania, Hawaii? I am talking to someone there who is trying to get the truth

Independent journalist Nick Sortor tells me about the opposition he has found in trying to get the truth.

It was August 8, 2023, when wildfires erupted in the Hawaiin community of Lahaina.

More than 100 people have died according to government officials.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said a few days after the fires broke out that there was "very little left" of Lahaina, where more than 2,700 structures have been destroyed in what is now the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. Green said he expects the death toll to keep climbing.

It has been reported that there are 800 children who have been unaccounted for.

I talked to independent journalist Nick Sortor who has been in Lahaina who tells me as of now the government is only confirming one person has died.

I was shocked by what Nick told me about how he has been treated by government officials and the stories he is hearing on the ground.
