White House Fires NTSB Board Member Todd Inman
The White House announced that National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) board member Todd Inman has been dismissed from his position. White House spokesman Kush Desai said Inman was removed after reports of inappropriate alcohol use on duty, harassment of staff, misuse of government resources, and failure to attend at least half of NTSB meetings.
Inman denied the allegations and described the decision as a “political hit job,” stating that he would pursue legal action to defend his reputation.
Inman had served on the NTSB since March 2024 and was the on-scene board member during the January 2025 collision near Reagan Washington National Airport that killed 67 people, as well as the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville.
The NTSB is an independent agency that investigates civil aviation accidents in the United States and examines major incidents in other transportation sectors, issuing safety recommendations.
