Despite being ousted from his high-ranking FEMA role in June, Gregg Phillips remains on the government payroll, receiving full benefits while meeting with political fixers.

  • Gregg Phillips remains on the Trump administration's payroll despite stepping down from his FEMA role.
  • He is currently on 'administrative leave,' meaning he continues to receive full pay and benefits.
  • Phillips was recently spotted in DC with former pardon attorney Ed Martin.

Gregg Phillips, an election denier famously known for his bizarre claim of 'teleporting' to a Waffle House, is sparking controversy once again. Despite reports that he was removed from his influential position overseeing emergency response at FEMA in June, Phillips appears to still be drawing a government salary.

On Sunday, Phillips took to Truth Social to assert his continued presence in the administration, stating, “I have been in the admin since last year. I’ll be leaving soon to rejoin the fight.” This statement coincided with him being photographed at a Department of Justice building alongside Ed Martin, a key figure in the Trump circle.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the intersection of political loyalty and federal employment creates significant transparency issues. When individuals with unproven claims of election fraud occupy high-level emergency management roles—and remain on the payroll after departure—it raises fundamental questions about the professionalization of the civil service.

Phillips' background is deeply tied to the controversial True the Vote organization. His involvement in promoting the debunked '2000 Mules' narrative has been a cornerstone of his political identity. Furthermore, investigative reports have previously highlighted how millions of dollars raised by True the Vote flowed into companies controlled by Phillips.

The continued compensation of officials on administrative leave, especially those involved in political activism, highlights a loophole in federal accountability.

According to the White House, Phillips is on administrative leave. This status ensures that even while not actively performing duties at FEMA headquarters, he remains entitled to full government pay and benefits. This comes despite anonymous FEMA sources claiming he hasn't been seen at the agency since June.
