A FEMA official has been removed from the agency due to controversy surrounding his past remarks. The official, who was appointed to a leadership position in December, had made bizarre claims, including one about teleporting to a Waffle House. Details of the situation are still emerging, with four sources confirming the official's departure.

The official in question is Gregg Phillips, who was tasked with leading FEMA's Office of Response and Recovery. Further information about Phillips' removal and the circumstances surrounding it can be found through national news sources, including CNN, which initially reported the story.
