The White House has removed Alvin Brown from his position as Vice Chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
The reason for Brown's dismissal, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden in December and typically serves a five-year term, was not immediately clear.
Brown's removal follows a pattern of the current administration firing officials from independent agencies since January, some of which have been challenged and reversed by court orders.
The White House on Monday removed National Transportation Safety Board Vice Chair Alvin Brown, according to Reuters.
It was not immediately clear why Brown was dismissed, and he has not publicly commented on the matter. A White House source reportedly confirmed the removal to Reuters.
