During the debut of MSNBC's The Briefing, Pete Buttigieg sharply criticized the Trump administration for its recent decision to fire Alvin Brown, vice chair of the NTSB. He expressed concern over the implications of politicized firings on federal safety and national security, particularly in light of deadly transportation incidents under investigation. Buttigieg pointed out that this action is unprecedented, as it's the first known removal of an NTSB board member by any White House, and it raises questions about oversight and accountability.
"This is a very bipartisan body. I have never heard of a White House in modern times removing somebody from the NTSB. And they've not provided any explanation or reason why."
"This is the first time in modern history that the White House has removed a board member," said Jeff Guzzetti, a former FAA and NTSB investigator.
