When you consider how truly awful *all* of Trump's press secretaries have been, it's a monumental achievement to be his very worst. Well done, Katie Zacharia!

After firing her for following the direct orders of DOGE staffers in interpreting an EO, the Trump admin began a smear campaign against Ms. Comans. DHS called her "deep state activist," and Tricia McLaughlin claimed she was "circumventing leadership," which DHS admits now was "entirely false."
i. February 11, 2025, DHS Press Release The first public attack on Ms. Comans came on February 11, 2025, when DHS issued a press release stating that FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer had been fired “for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants.” It was a matter of public record at the time, including on the FEMA website, that the Chief Financial Officer was Ms. Comans. The press release implied Ms. Comans was a “deep state activist” who had “undermine[d] the will and safety of the American people.” The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans had been fired, this statement was entirely false. The Government further concedes and the Court further finds that officials at FEMA and DHS knew this statement was false at the time it was made.ii. February 11, 2025, Statement by DHS Spokesperson to The New York Times On or about February 11, 2025, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin provided The New York Times an on-the-record statement that four FEMA employees, including Ms. Comans, had been fired “for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury N.Y.C. hotels for migrants.” The statement was published by The New York Times. The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans had been fired, the statement to The New York Times was entirely false. The Government further concedes and the Court further finds that officials at FEMA and DHS knew the statement was false at the time it was made.

In early 2025, Ms. Comans was directed *by DOGE employees themselves* to continue payments to local governments for sheltering migrants. She followed those orders. Then other DOGE employees found out, and the Trump admin decided to blame her personally and smear her in public for the payments.
early point of confusion was whether the Executive Order required a pause in funding only to nongovernmental organizations or whether it also paused funding to state and local governments. This
was not a decision to be made by the CFO. In fact, as CFO, Ms. Comans had neither the authority
nor the ability to direct money to or away from a particular grant recipient. Defining the scope of
the Executive Order was left to senior DHS or FEMA leadership, their general counsels, or at the
very least other FEMA employees who had direct authority over the grant programs at issue.
Ultimately, the agency’s decision was that payments should continue to state and local
governments. This decision was explicitly approved by employees of the newly
created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) who were embedded with DHS
and were reviewing and approving all funding initiatives. As a result of DOGE’s approval, Ms.
Comans was directed to continue payments to state and local governments.
Thereafter, other DOGE employees embedded with the Department of Treasury claimed
FEMA’s payments to state and local governments violated the President’s Executive Order. What
followed was a series of finger pointing and backtracking that resulted in the decision to blame
Ms. Comans and three other career officials. On February 11, 2025, Ms. Comans was fired and
DHS and DOGE officials began their public campaign to use her as a scapegoat.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."
In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.

Farms, produce suppliers, restaurants, grocery stores, are all going to take a hit (and likely already are) as fruits and vegetables go to waste and are left to rot because the trust is gone.
