Trump faucets former private lawyer to be nation’s prime librarian

President Donald Trump is changing the nation’s prime librarian with somebody he trusts implicitly—as a result of that somebody as soon as defended him in courtroom.

Blanche isn’t simply any Justice Division official—he was one among Trump’s lead legal professionals within the president’s felony hush cash trial, the place a jury discovered Trump responsible on 34 felony counts. Now a person with no obvious background in library science is being tapped to supervise one among America’s oldest and most important cultural establishments.

It’s a traditional Trump play: sideline a longtime public servant, then hand the keys to a loyalist. The shake-up suits a broader sample of Trump staffing highly effective posts with allies whereas torching variety, fairness, and inclusion efforts throughout authorities.

Hayden—the primary lady and first Black individual to steer the Library of Congress—was dismissed final week below imprecise and incendiary accusations. White Home press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed she was fired for allegedly pursuing variety initiatives and offering “inappropriate books” to youngsters—a weird cost provided that the Library of Congress isn’t a lending library and doesn’t serve patrons below 16 until they’re accompanied by an grownup. 


Carla Hayden, the previous librarian of Congress whom President Donald Trump fired.

In actuality, Hayden, who was 9 years into her 10-year time period, had earned broad popularity of modernizing the library and making its huge collections extra accessible. However in at present’s MAGA world, being a Black lady with a monitor document of reform made her a straightforward goal for right-wing smears. 

Simply earlier than her dismissal, the conservative American Accountability Basis attacked Hayden as “anti-Trump” and accused her of “trans-ing kids,” urging the White Home to “get her OUT and hire a new guy.”

They acquired precisely that. And sure, it issues that the “new guy” is a white man whose major qualification seems to be serving to Trump dodge jail time.

Hayden’s firing is a part of a wider assault by the Trump administration on civil servants seen as disloyal—or just too impartial. 

Democrats slammed Trump’s firing of Hayden. Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer referred to as for stripping the presidency of appointment energy over the place altogether.

Presidents shouldn’t “treat federal appointments like reality TV prizes,” he stated, calling the dismissal an assault on institutional integrity.

Trump, in the meantime, has lengthy harbored animosity towards the humanities and humanities. He’s repeatedly sought to slash funding for the Nationwide Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Providers. And now the backlash is beginning to spill over. CNN reported that a number of performers from the upcoming “Les Misérables” manufacturing on the Kennedy Performing Arts Heart plan to boycott the June 11 efficiency if Trump attends.

Blanche will take over from Principal deputy librarian Robert Newlen, who briefly stepped in after Hayden’s dismissal. However the message is unmistakable: Trump isn’t simply rewriting historical past—he’s putting in yes-men to manage the archives.
