Donald Trump's former lawyer, Todd Blanche, has been appointed acting Librarian of Congress, replacing Carla Hayden, who was fired. The White House's decision to remove Hayden, the first Black and first female Librarian of Congress, has drawn criticism. Brian Nieves and Paul Perkins have also been appointed to acting roles within the Library of Congress, following the removal of other officials deemed opposed to Trump's agenda. The changes are part of a broader purge of officials by the Trump administration.
