Democrat warns Trump firing challenges integrity of STB

Season 2025 Episode 241 | 4m 58s

It’s not as well-known as the Federal Reserve or the CDC, but the Surface Transportation Board is the latest agency in the Trump administration’s sights. President Trump abruptly fired Robert Primus, one of only two Democrats on the five-member board, just as regulators weigh the largest railroad merger ever proposed. Geoff Bennett spoke with Primus about the timing of his firing.
