"Trump Taps Acting Administrator Gaynor To Lead FEMA"

"President Donald Trump on Thursday tapped Pete Gaynor, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s acting administrator, to permanently lead the agency.

The White House withdrew its previous nominee, Jeffrey Byard, earlier this month after his Senate confirmation landed in jeopardy over an accusation he was involved in an altercation, according to a White House official.

Gaynor has served as FEMA’s acting director since March 2019 after former head Brock Long resigned following a controversy over his personal use of government vehicles. "
