Hamilton was ousted from FEMA last year after telling lawmakers he didn't think the agency in charge of responding to disasters should be eliminated.
He made the statement shortly after Kristi Noem, then Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, had reiterated Trump's wish to get rid of FEMA.
But Noem has gone from DHS, which oversees FEMA, and a council of disaster experts appointed by Trump recently recommended overhauling but not eliminating FEMA.
The council's recommendations include making it simpler for disaster survivors to get money and raising the threshold for the federal government to get involved in disaster recovery.

The Justice Department says Minnesota should be barred from suing the fossil fuel industry over the impacts of climate change.
Because, it argues, the federal government has sole authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
Minnesota's lawsuit, filed in 2020, alleges the fossil fuel industry misled people for decades about the dangers of burning fossil fuels.
The state says it's already suffered billions in economic damage from rising temperatures.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said this new DOJ suit is meritless and should be dismissed.
The oil and gas industry says the same for climate lawsuits like Minnesota's, and that climate change is an issue for Congress to deal with, not the courts.

The Interior Department said companies agreed to abandon plans for an offshore wind farm off the coast of New York and New Jersey and another offshore California and instead invest in conventional energy projects, including natural gas.
In exchange, the administration said it will return nearly $900 million the companies paid for offshore wind leases.
The administration announced a similar deal in March.
It calls for the government to pay a company nearly a billion dollars to invest in fossil fuel projects instead of building wind farms off the Atlantic coast.
