What the evidence supports
Trump reversed an Obama air-traffic-controller hiring policy and Biden later reversed Trump's change.
The relevant diversity hiring initiative and controller qualification rules did not follow the sequence Trump described.
Diversity hiring at the Federal Aviation Administration could have contributed to the Reagan National Airport collision.
Investigators had not determined the cause, and Trump presented no evidence connecting FAA diversity policies to the collision.
FAA diversity policy allowed people with severe intellectual, psychiatric or physical disabilities to work as air traffic controllers without normal qualifications.
The targeted-disabilities language applied to recruitment across the FAA, while controller applicants still had to satisfy medical, aptitude, training and certification requirements.
