Although Uthmeier settled the case against Criswell, the attorney general is continuing to pursue claims against the former FEMA worker, Marn’i Washington, for punitive damages.
Criswell fired Washington shortly after learning she had directed her disaster team to skip houses displaying support for Trump in Lake Placid, Florida, a small community about halfway between Tampa and Miami. The former FEMA administrator strongly condemned Washington’s actions and said they were isolated.
