White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre encouraged the ongoing investigation into the Maui wildfires.

Jean-Pierre appeared on CNN's News Central to confirm the validity of an investigation into what started the four separate wildfires on the island of Maui in a matter of days. The press secretary assured that questions "should be asked" about the origin and maintenance of the wildfires.

"We certainly want to make sure that we get to the bottom of what happened here and understand what happened," Jean-Pierre said. "What we’re going to focus on right now, and we’re going to let the investigation happen — because, as I said, we’ve got to get to the bottom of that — what we are going to focus right now to make sure the survivors in Hawaii, in Maui, have everything that they need to rebuild."

Per the press secretary, President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will visit Hawaii Monday to "see firsthand the impact of the wildfires, the devastation of loss, the devastation of land, the devastation of culture." In the meantime, the White House is continuing a "whole-of-government effort," including $2.3 million in family aid.

"We are here to help," Jean-Pierre said, "the federal government is here to assist, to make sure that they get everything that they need to rebuild and recover.”

The death toll in Maui reached over 100 Thursday, making it the deadliest in the past 100 years. A small minority of the deceased have been identified because of their burns.

Two of the original four fires have since been contained, with one of the two completely extinguished as of Tuesday.
