PoliticsSean Duffy blames previous presidents and Congress for flight stoppage

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy blamed Friday’s nationwide flight stoppage, which delayed or canceled thousands of flights, on previous administrations and insufficient congressional funding. Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen said the Trump administration had not properly used funds already provided. The FAA is investigating a contractor’s maintenance failure; Duffy said there was no indication of a foreign cyberattack.
