White House Removes Inman Over Claims of Harassment and Neglect

The White House has removed National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) member J. Todd Inman amid allegations of misconduct, including harassment, misuse of government resources, and repeated absences from board meetings. Inman, a Republican and former chief of staff to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, denies the allegations as a ‘political hit job.’ The firing comes less than two weeks after the Senate confirmed a new NTSB member, restoring the board to its full five-member panel. The incident was first reported by Reuters and NBC News, with the White House statement outlining the allegations published by NBC Washington.
