FEMA Chief Passes DHS Polygraph as Trump Administration Advances Plans to Dismantle Agency

Cameron Hamilton cleared in leak investigation as debates over FEMA's future intensify ahead of hurricane season.

DHS required FEMA acting Administrator Cameron Hamilton to take a polygraph test as part of its leak investigation; he passed the test.
The investigation stems from the Trump administration's broader efforts to identify and prosecute leakers within federal agencies.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed plans to eliminate FEMA, citing inefficiency, catching some FEMA officials by surprise.
Critics warn that dismantling FEMA could severely impact disaster preparedness, especially with hurricane season approaching.
Cameron Hamilton, with no prior emergency management experience, has faced scrutiny for halting key disaster relief programs, including a $750 million grant initiative.
