FEMA Official Claims Teleportation Incident

If you're wondering why, here's why.

We had a, a teleport, uh, incident, two of

them. The car lifted up

and took me where I was going, and I end up at a Waffle House like

50 miles away from where I was.

That man, who last year said he teleported to a

Georgia Waffle House,

is Greg Phillips, and he's actually one of the most powerful

officials at

FEMA, overseeing disaster response across the

entire country.

When I told President Trump what Phillips said, he asked me some obvious

questions like, "What does teleport mean?" and,

"Was he kidding?"

Phillips was not. In fact, he recently doubled down on the claim he

teleported in a post on Truth Social.

Phillips said that many of the episodes occurred while he was heavily medicated

during cancer treatments, writing, "During that journey, things happened that

I can't explain." And when I told President Trump

that he wasn't kidding, he

said, "It just sounds a little strange, but I know nothing about teleporting or

him, but I'll find out about it right now."

After our call, we followed up

with FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security, but we didn't hear back.

We also reached out to Phillips, who didn't respond to our request for

comment.

Phillips, in fact, has a history of making supernatural

claims,

like last year, he claimed a spirit lifted his car off the

road to save him from an oncoming truck.

The girl that had died came into the car with me.

She lifted me and the car up and out of the

way from a truck that had slid

across the road.

And that's just one of a number of claims that we found, like

claiming that Satan spoke to him on a hike in Spain.

Satan lied to me. He convinced me to pour out my water

bottle.

He almost got his demonic wish and watched me die.

Inside FEMA, the reaction has been swift.

After CNN first reported on his teleportation claims, the White House

contacted DHS and urged officials to either remove Phillips

or keep him out of public view, according to a White House official.

And within days, Phillips was pulled from a Capitol Hill hearing

and has since been

sidelined from parts of FEMA's day-to-day operations, multiple sources told

CNN. For some senior career officials, this situation is

actually more complicated. Some told us despite the teleportation

claims,

which they do find bizarre, they think he's done a good job on

disaster response,

and now FEMA officials are grappling with what comes next.
