As storm nears, FEMA chief says he will cooperate with separate probe

The head of FEMA said he would never intentionally break government rules following a report that his use of official vehicles was under scrutiny, but that right now, he was focused on a major hurricane approaching the U.S. Southeast coast. Brock Long, who directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said he was "very aware" of a media report published earlier on Thursday regarding his travel habits, and that the agency would cooperate with any investigations. Politico, citing three people familiar with the matter, said the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (OIG) was probing Long's use of official vehicles to travel between Washington and his home in North Carolina during his time as FEMA director.
