NTSB member who responded to D.C. midair crash abruptly departs, says he was fired by the White House - CBS News
Overview
National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman abruptly left the agency two years into what is normally a five-year term. Inman, who served as the NTSB’s initial on-scene spokesman after the deadly midair collision over Washington, D.C., says the White House fired him. His departure and claim of dismissal raise questions about potential political influence on an independent safety agency and could affect public confidence and ongoing NTSB work. Along with the reported resignation of acting NIAID head Jeffery Taubenberger, Inman’s exit contributes to a wider pattern of abrupt senior departures across federal agencies.
