FEMA official who claimed he teleported to Waffle House ousted from agency, sources say

A high-ranking FEMA official, Gregg Phillips, who previously caused controversy with outlandish claims like teleporting to a Waffle House, has been removed from his position, according to four sources. Phillips was placed at FEMA by White House officials in December, but his tenure was short-lived due to ongoing scrutiny over his past statements. This incident highlights the importance of vetting and the seriousness with which agencies approach their leadership, especially in roles that involve public safety and federal resources.
