Trump to sign executive order establishing task force to review FEMA: Sources
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Friday to establish a task force charged with reviewing the Federal Emergency Management Agency and recommending changes, two sources with direct knowledge of the order told ABC News.
The sources said the executive order would create a group called the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council and would be comprised of the homeland security secretary, the defense secretary and private-sector experts. The task force will be expected to issue a report to Trump on the agency and recommend changes.
Trump does not have unilateral authority to eliminate FEMA, according to federal law, so if that task force recommends getting rid of FEMA, it would require congressional action.
