LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON (AP) — A National Transportation Safety Board member who was a public face of the investigation into last year’s deadly collision of an airliner and an Army helicopter near the nation’s capital said Sunday that he had been fired by the Trump administration without explanation. AdvertisementThe White House had no immediate response to a message left by The Associated Press seeking comment. The White House previously has said that Trump was within his legal rights to fire Brown and Primus and that performance, not bias, drove the decisions. Inman also was the lead board member of the investigation into last year’s crash of a UPS cargo plane in Kentucky that killed 15 people. After major incidents, the board sends a member to the crash site for initial briefings and to oversee the initial investigation.
