"Trump’s FEMA Chief Assailed The Agency With Untruths"

"Acting Administrator Cameron Hamilton amplified false charges that FEMA spent disaster aid on migrants and blocked help to North Carolina."

"President Donald Trump’s selection to run federal disaster operations has spread misinformation about the agency he now leads and attacked California Gov. Gavin Newsom and diversity efforts on social media.

Cameron Hamilton, acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, embraced false Republican narratives that FEMA spent disaster aid helping migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border and blocked supplies to North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

Trump echoed those claims to attack President Joe Biden and FEMA, an agency he has threatened to disband."
