Will we get a full explanation on the collision over Reagan National? We have gotten a partial answer - the air traffic controllers were understaffed. Since Trump is the President hopefully we will get the full explanation. If Biden or Harris was in there forget about it.

the helicopter at 200 feet, when the helicopter was actually over 300 feet.
