Pete Muntean reacted to the president pointing to the Federal Aviation Administration's diversity hiring during a briefing on the midair collision.

Following the mid-air collision of an American Airlines regional passenger jet and a U.S. army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the Federal Aviation Administration's diversity equity and inclusion policies.

A passenger jet carrying 64 people and a U.S. Army helicopter plummeted into the Potomac River after colliding in midair. President Trump, without evidence, blamed DEI policies for the incident.
