DC plane crash live updates: Collision leaves no survivors

“That’s what you’d expect from President Trump,” Marshall, who represents Kansas, said. “On the other hand, we just had a phone call with the National Transportation Safety Board and FAA, and all they would say is we’ll get back to you. And I’m telling Kansans, this is unacceptable.”

Officials haven’t yet established the causes of the Washington, D.C., collision, and Trump himself has acknowledged it’s too soon to draw conclusions.

Asked whether he agrees with Trump’s speculation that diversity contributed to the crash, Marshall said he has “no idea.”

“Certainly, I want air traffic controllers, just like my pilots, to be there because of their merit, not because of anything else,” Marshall said. “And so I certainly agree with President Trump.”
