WASHINGTON, May 6 (Reuters) - The White House on Monday
removed the vice chair of the National Transportation Safety
Board, the latest in a series of dismissals by President Donald
Trump from independent U.S. government agencies, sources told
Reuters.
Alvin Brown, a Democrat who was the first-ever African
American elected mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, was designated
as vice chair in December by then President Joe Biden after he
joined the five-member board in March 2024. Brown did not
immediately return an email seeking comment. A White House
official confirmed the departure.
