Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Gregg Phillips has been selected for a leadership position in the Federal Emergency Management Administration, though he hasn't managed emergencies at the state or federal level and has been critical of the agency.
Philipps, 65, is best known for claiming millions of noncitizens voted in the 2016 election.
Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, which is FEMA's largest division, as first reported by The Handbasket. The position doesn't need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Karen Evan, FEMA's newly appointed interim leader, also doesn't have major management experience. She replaced David Richardson, who resigned as FEMA's acting administrator on Nov. 17 after being appointed on May 8, and also didn't have emergency experience.
