Two weeks into his presidency, Trump faced a major crisis with the plane crash near DCA. He brought his unconventional style to the matter
D.C. police confirmed a crash had taken place over the Potomac and that search and rescue operations were taking place in the river. Donald Trump later weighed in.
Donald Trump’s administration—including Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy—rushed up to the podium to flatter the president after he used a press conference on the deadly D.C. plane crash to blame diversity hires.
The Senate confirmed Sean Duffy as the next secretary of transportation, marking a return to public office for former Wisconsin congressman.
Duffy previously told lawmakers his priorities leading the Transportation Department include aviation and highway safety as well as addressing the air traffic controller shortage.
President Donald Trump is questioning the actions of the army helicopter pilot and air traffic controller in Wednesday's deadly midair collision in Washington.
Sean Duffy, a former TV personality turned politician, is now serving as the Secretary of Transportation under President Donald Trump's administration. Recently confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Duffy will oversee a vital department responsible for managing transportation infrastructure across the nation.
In a briefing that recalled his most extreme first term remarks, President Trump said without any evidence that diversity initiatives caused the midair collision.
Investigators have retrieved the voice and data recorders from the passenger plane following Wednesday's crash which killed 67 people.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided Wednesday with an Army helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., prompting a large search-and-rescue operation in the nearby Potomac River.
The press conference ended at 1:20 a.m. on the East Coast, and Duffy was back at it at 7 a.m. Thursday morning to speak again about the worst commercial airline disaster in 16 years. He spoke at a third press conference at 11 a.m., this time following combative remarks from President Donald Trump.
