‘We don’t really need any investigation’ on FAA ground stop: House speaker
NewsNation reports the FAA's rare nationwide ground stop on Friday, lifted around 8:15 p.m. after more than four hours, left over 4,500 flights delayed and over 5,000 canceled by Saturday, with Secretary Sean Duffy blaming a contractor's telecommunications line switch that overloaded routers. House Speaker Mike Johnson says no investigation is needed, while Duffy, Markwayne Mullin, and Johnson instead call for tens of billions of dollars to update aging air traffic control equipment.
