Gregg Phillips, a top FEMA official, has sparked controversy with claims of teleporting 50 miles to a Waffle House in Georgia.
Phillips, appointed by Trump in 2025, has a history of promoting conspiracy theories, including election fraud and a Chinese army at the U.S. border.
Before joining FEMA, Phillips held state HHS roles and founded a healthcare analytics firm.
He has also criticized FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene, calling it the agency's 'biggest failure.'
Phillips' claims have raised eyebrows, particularly given his limited disaster management experience.
