Trump nominates Cameron Hamilton to lead FEMA, year after he was fired from role
President Trump has nominated former Navy SEAL Cameron Hamilton to lead FEMA, a surprising move given Trump's past criticism of the agency. Hamilton, previously a temporary leader, had argued against abolishing FEMA. His confirmation would make him the principal advisor on emergency management, taking over an agency facing workforce challenges and preparing for the upcoming disaster season.
