SCOOP: FEMA chief Brock Long is planning to leave the agency, sources say. Could be announced as soon as today.
Brock Long was criticized over his use of govt vehicles for personal travel and his agency’s response to a storm that devastated Puerto Rico, but he's leaving on his own accord, sources tell me and @cflav.
He's burned out after commuting home to NC, where wife and kids live.

BREAKING: FEMA issues statement from Brock Long:
“While this has been the opportunity of the lifetime, it is time for me to go home to my family – my beautiful wife and two incredible boys. ... Upon my departure, Mr. Peter Gaynor, will serve as Acting FEMA administrator."

Brock Long rode out the criticism and negative news stories about misuse of govt vehicles, and continued to have Trump's support, I'm told. He's stepping down, he told White House officials, to take care of the home front. Family's still in North Carolina
