Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) Tuesday joined Democrats in pushing back against President Donald Trump’s effort to install his own leadership team at the Library of Congress, which is part of the legislative branch. Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden last week and Shira Perlmutter, head of the U.S. Copyright Office, over the weekend. But the Justice Department officials he named as their replacements have been rebuffed at the Library of Congress, with congressional support.
Who said what
Congress’ quiet resistance to the president’s “attempt to exert control” over “the legislative branch’s premier research body” is a “rare bipartisan effort to defend its institutional authority” from Trump, The Washington Post said. On Monday, Trump named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a close ally and his former personal lawyer, as acting librarian of Congress, but lawmakers said Hayden’s deputy, Robert Newlen, was still in charge for now.
Library of Congress employees on Monday turned away two Trump appointees seeking to take over the Copyright Office. “For the time being, the acting librarian is the acting librarian,” Sen. Alex Padilla (Calif.), the top Rules Committee Democrat, said Tuesday, and Trump’s people “seem to be respecting that.”
