Q: Washington (CNN) Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long said Sunday that he has no plans to resign amid a Department of Homeland Security probe into his travel using government resources. 
  
 Long told NBC's "Meet the Press " on Sunday that Nielsen has not asked for his resignation and that he's cooperating with the DHS inspector general's investigation. 
  
 "Secretary Nielsen has never asked me to resign," Long said. "We have a very functional and professional relationship. We talk every day. We are both solely focused on Florence." 
  
 Asked if he plans to resign, Long replied, "No. No, no, no, I'm here to serve my country every day. That's all I do." 
  
 A senior administration official confirmed to CNN last week that there is an ongoing investigation includes, but may not be limited to, whether Long misused government vehicles and personnel for his six-hour drives between his home in North Carolina and FEMA headquarters in Washington, DC. Politico first reported the existence of the investigation. 
  
 Also on Sunday, Long told CBS's "Face the Nation" that he has run the agency "the same way it ran for anybody before me." 
  
 "I have never made -- I would never intentionally violate any rules that I was aware of," he added. ||||| Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Brock Long on Sunday suggested that deaths in the aftermath of a natural disaster are unfairly lumped into reports assessing the death toll of hurricanes. 
  
 Long said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that research, like the George Washington University (GWU) study conducted in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, often includes individuals who may have died from factors that occur as a byproduct of a natural disaster. 
  
 "In [Hurricane Florence], you might see more deaths indirectly occur as time goes on, because people have heart attacks due to stress, they fall off their house trying to fix their roof, they die in car crashes because they go through intersections where the stop lights weren't working," Long said.

 "There’s all kinds of studies on this that we take a look at," he continued. "Spousal abuse goes through the roof. You can’t blame spousal abuse after a disaster on anybody." 
  
 FEMA did not immediately respond to a request for comment clarifying Long's comments about spousal abuse.

 Long was questioned on a trio of Sunday shows about President Trump Donald John TrumpCNN host reads on-air letter Kavanaugh accuser sent to Feinstein Five times Mattis split with Trump Flake says he is 'not comfortable voting yes' yet on Kavanaugh MORE's baseless claims that the official death toll in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria was inflated by Democrats in order to make him "look as bad as possible." 
  
 Trump last Thursday called into question the validity of the GWU study, which found that nearly 3,000 people died in the storm and the six months that followed. 
  
 The Puerto Rican government last month raised the official death toll from the storm from 64 to 2,975 in order to match the study. 
  
 The report's researchers issued a statement earlier last week standing by their study after Trump questioned the results. 
  
 "I don’t know why the studies were done," Long said Sunday when asked about Trump's claims. 
  
 "In my opinion, what we’ve got to do is find out why people died from direct deaths — which is the wind, the water and the waves, buildings collapsing — which is probably where the 65 deaths came from. And then there’s indirect deaths," he said. 
  
 Long called it "frustrating" that the GWU study and other reviews of hurricane death tolls use different methodologies, adding that "the numbers are all over the place." 
  
 Long went on to defend Trump by pointing to his support for FEMA, including that he's held a pair of Cabinet meetings at FEMA headquarters. |||||
A: 
Embattled FEMA Administrator Brock Long made a side remark on the Sunday talkies that kinda outshone the main conversation, the Hill reports. Suggesting that the reported 3,000 extra Puerto Rico deaths—a number President Trump is heavily disputing—may have been byproducts of Hurricane Maria beyond anyone's control, he said on NBC's Meet the Press: "There’s all kinds of studies on this that we take a look at. Spousal abuse goes through the roof. You can’t blame spousal abuse after a disaster on anybody." Asked about byproduct deaths, Long says they may happen "because people have heart attacks due to stress, they fall off their house trying to fix their roof," or die driving through "intersections where the stop lights aren't working."

"We have a very functional and professional relationship. We talk every day. We are both solely focused on Florence."
