“We decided to examine every possible regulatory change made under Trump that could be related to the accident and assess whether it could have made an impact,” read a review published Monday by Glenn Kessler at the Washington Post.
“From our analysis, none of the regulatory changes made during the Trump administration at this point can be cited as contributing to the accident,” Kessler added.
The review of “every possible regulatory change” made under Trump was conducted after U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was called out for falsely claiming that a proposed rule withdrawn in 2018 (under the Trump administration) had contributed to the train disaster in Ohio.
Even a member of Biden’s own administration (National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chair Jennifer Homendy) called Buttigieg’s claims about the East Palestine train derailment “misinformation.”
On Thursday, the New York Times also acknowledged in a report that the claims that former President Donald Trump’s administration was responsible for the train derailment in East Palestine due to it rolling back a rail safety rule is inaccurate.
But by that point, it was already too late as the false claim initially made by Buttigieg on February 14 had already circulated on social media where people regurgitated the transportation secretary’s remarks, spreading confusion and falsehoods across the internet.
While Buttigieg pointed his finger at Trump, the 45th president visited East Palestine, where he delivered truckloads of bottled water to residents who are worried about water quality in the area following the train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals into the environment.Obtained by Breitbart News

That’s right. Trump has had a virtual colonoscopy nearly every day since he announced his candidacy for POTUS. I can’t think of one individual who has had this kind of examination day in and day out for so long.
That’s why the Dems, RINO’s, and the deep state hate him.
They have no dirt on him and they can’t “control” him.
Biden and Buttplug are losing their ink pen. oops “loosing”
Clemens would smile.
The left gets another Trump finger award.
Gosh that’s nice
.
You got me. The rule changes did not cause this accident.
Kessler, on occasion, could be a good journalist. Glad to see that there is still some integrity left in him..
