CBS: Trump fires archivist of the United States, official who oversees government records
President Trump has fired Archivist of the United States Colleen J. Shogan, the government official responsible for preserving and providing access to government records.
Sergio Gor, director of the Presidential Personnel Office, announced Shogan’s dismissal Friday night. Shogan has held the job since 2023.
“At the direction of @realDonaldTrump the Archivist of the United States has been dismissed tonight,” Gor wrote on X. “We thank Colleen Shogan for her service.”
The move isn’t unexpected. Mr. Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier this month that “we will have a new archivist.”
