FEMA head denies he was asked to resign over alleged misuse of government vehicles

Brock Long, the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), denied on Sunday that he was asked to consider resigning over alleged misuse of government vehicles.

"Let me go ahead and clear up the facts. (Department of Homeland Security) Secretary [Kirstjen] Nielsen has never asked me to resign. We have a very functional and professional relationship. We talk everyday, we are both solely focused on Florence," Long said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Long was asked about a Wall Street Journal article published Saturday that reported senior White House officials discussed replacing Long prior to Hurricane Florence's formation because of an investigation into the FEMA chief's potential misuse of federal resources.

Long is facing an inspector general investigation over his alleged use of government vehicles and staff to drive him from his office in Washington, D.C., to his home in North Carolina. Staffers were then allegedly put up in hotels at taxpayer expense.
