四名消息人士向CNN透露，一位因怪异过往言论引发争议的联邦应急管理局（FEMA）高官已被该机构解雇，他曾声称自己穿越到了一家华夫饼屋。
尽管格雷格·菲利普斯有宣扬选举阴谋论的前科——尤其是在2020大选后，白宫仍于去年12月将他安排进FEMA。今年3月，CNN报道了他在右翼播客节目中发表的一系列离谱言论，包括那段穿越时空的说法后，他引发了全国范围的关注。
负责监管FEMA的美国国土安全部周四证实，菲利普斯已离开该机构，称他是因个人原因休假。但消息人士向CNN表示，此次离职并非自愿：新任国土安全部领导层早已厌倦菲利普斯引发的种种尴尬，以及他不时与 agency 领导层就工作议程发生的冲突。

A top FEMA official who had drawn scrutiny for bizarre past remarks — including claiming he teleported to a Waffle House — has been pushed out of the agency, four sources tell CNN.
White House officials installed Gregg Phillips at FEMA in December, despite his history of promoting election conspiracy theories, particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 election. He came under national scrutiny in March after CNN reported on a cache of outlandish comments from his appearances on right-wing podcasts, including the teleportation claim.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, confirmed Thursday that Phillips is leaving the agency, saying he is taking leave for personal reasons. But sources tell CNN the departure was not voluntary: New DHS leadership had grown weary of the embarrassment surrounding Phillips and of his periodic clashes with agency leaders over their agenda.
