Tennessee governor requests emergency declaration from President Donald Trump

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced Saturday that he has requested an emergency declaration from President Donald Trump after an explosion ripped through downtown Nashville on Christmas morning.

“The severity and magnitude of the current situation is such that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments,” Lee wrote in a statement.
