President Trump fired National Archivist Colleen Shogan, following through on his vow to change the leadership of the agency. Shogan was involved in a criminal case accusing Trump of mishandling classified documents. The White House confirmed the dismissal, with no reason cited, and did not provide information on her replacement. Shogan acknowledged her termination on LinkedIn, expressing no regrets. The National Archives played a role in the case against Trump, alerting the Justice Department to his failure to return requested records after leaving office. Trump eventually returned some documents but kept others, leading to a criminal investigation. The case was dismissed by a Trump-appointed judge on technical grounds. The Trump administration has also dismissed officials involved in investigations against the president since taking office. Two groups of FBI agents have sued the DOJ, alleging they were targeted for dismissal based on a survey they were instructed to fill out about their roles in the investigations.
