Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library director Todd Arrington resigned under pressure following a dispute with the Trump administration over gifting an original Eisenhower sword to King Charles III. Arrington argued against relinquishing a historical artifact, proposing a replica instead. Sources indicate his departure may also be linked to his views on a new building for the Eisenhower Foundation. Arrington stated he was told to resign or be fired, citing a belief he could not be trusted with confidential information regarding the sword.
