The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The FAA is investigating why air traffic controllers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport allowed a passenger jet to depart as Marine One, carrying President Donald Trump, left the White House on Tuesday afternoon. The helicopter briefly came within less than a mile of the departing aircraft in Washington airspace, but the FAA said Trump was not in danger. Controllers had not paused commercial traffic at Reagan National, a step required under procedures adopted after the January 2025 fatal midair collision there. The NTSB is also reviewing the incident.
