Plane carrying DHS Secretary Mullin makes emergency landing after engine failure

A U.S. Coast Guard plane carrying Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin made an emergency landing outside Washington on Wednesday after reporting that one of its engines had failed.

“We just lost our right engine, would like to declare an emergency and immediate landing at DCA,” the pilot told air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport around 1:30 p.m., according to recordings on ATC.com.
