EXCLUSIVE: Federal mine safety official warned that the Trump administration is putting miners in danger, violating law

Two days before his term ended, a member of the independent federal commission overseeing mine safety charged that the Trump administration's easing of a key worker safety rule was illegal and would endanger the "lives of the nation's miners."

Robert F. Cohen, whose term expired last month on the mine safety and health panel, alleged that the action by Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta threatened to undermine the "most powerful tool for protecting the lives of the nation's miners." Cohen's scathing criticism was in response to the Trump administration relaxing enforcement of a key worker safety rule against a West Virginia coal mine.
