President Trump has dismissed Colleen Shogan, the head of the National Archives, following her involvement in a criminal case accusing him of mishandling classified documents. Shogan was let go at Trump’s direction, with no reason given for her dismissal. The National Archives did not offer a response, and it is unclear who will take over Shogan’s position. Trump had previously indicated his intent to replace Shogan as he vowed to change the leadership at the agency. The National Archives had alerted the Justice Department in 2022 about Trump’s failure to return requested records, leading to a criminal investigation. Despite returning some documents, Trump kept others, leading to a search of his Mar-a-Lago residence and subsequent charges. The case was ultimately dismissed due to concerns about the appointment of the special counsel. Since taking office, Trump has dismissed multiple officials involved in investigations against him, including career lawyers and FBI agents. Lawsuits have been filed alleging that a survey targeting FBI agents’ roles in investigations was used to identify targets for dismissal.
