In Washington, the press secretary of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has resigned — two weeks after he helped orchestrate a fake news conference for FEMA about the California wild fires. Aaron Walker secretly coached FEMA staffers to act like reporters during the fake news conference. Walker has defended his actions. He told The Washington Post, “There was no effort to misinform, to put on a charade. It was simply a poor choice across the board of a method to get some information out.”
