Buttigieg [White House press conference]: As we speak this afternoon, an emergency relief funding request has come in from the Maryland State DOT. We'll be processing that immediately to start getting them what they need…the Infrastructure Law did authorize funding into the emergency relief account, which is the mechanism that is most likely to come in play here. Last I checked, there was about nine hundred and fifty million dollars available…we may be turning to congress in order to help top up those funds.

Buttigieg: Any private party that is found responsible and liable [bridge collapse] will be held accountable.
