Trump Nominates Cameron Hamilton for FEMA Leadership Again Amid Agency Criticism

President Trump has nominated Cameron Hamilton to lead FEMA again, a year after he was removed from the position following a public disagreement with administration officials.
Hamilton's return comes as FEMA is criticized for its slow response to recent disasters and operational inefficiencies under previous leadership.
He will need to address recommendations for major reforms from a Trump-appointed council as the agency prepares for the Atlantic hurricane season.
