Acting FEMA administrator out after pushing back against Trump agency plans
The acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is no longer with the agency — just a day after telling lawmakers that cutting FEMA, as President Donald Trump has proposed, is a bad move. Cameron Hamilton, who previously served as a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy with SEAL Team 8, has led FEMA since January. "Effective today, David Richardson is now serving as the Senior Official Performing the duties of the FEMA Administrator," a FEMA spokesperson said in a Thursday email to Fox News Digital. "Cameron Hamilton is no longer serving in this capacity." Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Troy Edgar and Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski requested Hamilton appear at Homeland Security headquarters on Thursday morning and informed him of his ouster, Politico reported.
