WASHINGTON, March 8 (Reuters) - A Republican member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday he was fired on Friday by the White House without any explanation.
Todd Inman, a former chief of staff to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao during President Donald Trump's first term, had served on the NTSB since April 2024. He was the on-scene board member at the American Airlines collision with an Army helicopter in January 2025 near Reagan Washington National Airport that killed 67 people and the November crash of a UPS cargo plane on takeoff from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport that killed 15 people.
The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Inman was removed from the NTSB website on Sunday. The NTSB told senior leaders in an email seen by Reuters that Inman's position was terminated. The NTSB declined to comment.
The White House fired then-NTSB Vice Chair Alvin Brown in May. Brown, a Democrat who was the first-ever African American elected mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, has filed suit challenging his dismissal.
