Mayor Bowser: NTSB Is Committed to ‘Independent, Fair, and Comprehensive’ Potomac Collision Investigation

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCIUTTO: “In discussing their investigation, NTSB officials make clear that they intend to carry out an independent investigation. This, of course, in the midst of a time when you have political leaders right up to the president sharing their own speculation as to what may have caused this crash, seemingly politically motivated, at least in part. I wonder from your perspective, are you confident that we will get - that D.C. will get an independent, fair, and honest investigation as to what led to this collision?”
BOWSER: “Well, I will say first and foremost our hearts go out to all the families and our commitment is to follow the fellow federal officials and get to the bottom of what happened. I‘ve had direct conversations with the chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board and her approach seems like an independent, fair, and comprehensive approach. She‘s committed to transparency and accuracy and sharing with the public what she can when she can. So at this stage, I have confidence in how the investigation is proceeding.”
