FEMA official heads to intelligence office amid fake news conference flap
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly a week after the Federal Emergency Management Agency held a fake news conference, the man who led its public relations office will begin work Monday as the director of public affairs for the director of national intelligence, a DNI spokesman said Sunday.
Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for the intelligence office, said FEMA External Affairs Director Pat Philbin was offered the job "well before" a Tuesday news conference where agency staffers lobbied questions to the agency's deputy administrator, Vice Adm. Harvey Johnson, on the raging California wildfires. Feinstein declined to say whether the office -- led by National Intelligence Director Michael McConnell -- was reconsidering the appointment.
