The civil defense employee who pushed the wrong button, causing more than a million people in Hawaii to fear that they were about to be struck by a nuclear missile Saturday, will be reassigned, emergency officials confirmed on Sunday. A spokesman with the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency confirmed to Fox News, “The employee who issued the alert has been temporarily reassigned pending the outcome of our internal investigation. Rather than triggering a test of the system, it went into actual event mode, Fox News previously reported. The employee confirmed the alert, inadvertently causing a panic in a state already on edge over saber-rattling missile threats from North Korea. Speaking of Hawaii officials, Trump said “I love that they took responsibility.”He said, “They took full responsibility but we’re going to get involved.”Trump also said he hopes something like that doesn’t happen again.
