Results: President Trump fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden
Published on 05/19/2025
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump abruptly fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden on Thursday as the White House continues to purge the federal government of those perceived to oppose the president and his agenda.
Hayden was notified in an email late Thursday from the White House's Presidential Personnel Office, according to an email obtained by The Associated Press. Confirmed by the Senate to the job in 2016, Hayden was the first woman and the first African American to be librarian of Congress. "Carla," the email began. "On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service." A spokesperson for the Library of Congress confirmed that the White House told Hayden she was dismissed. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g-s1-65271/librarian-of-congress-fired
