President Donald Trump has dismissed the head of the National Archives, Colleen Shogan, after she played a role in a criminal case accusing Trump of mishandling classified documents. White House official Sergio Gor confirmed the dismissal, stating that Trump directed it. Shogan acknowledged her termination on LinkedIn, expressing pride in her service. Trump had mentioned his intention to replace Shogan in an interview last month. The National Archives had alerted the Justice Department in 2022 about Trump potentially mishandling classified documents, leading to a criminal investigation. Trump eventually returned some records but kept others, resulting in charges against him. The case was dismissed due to a technicality related to the appointment of the special counsel. Since taking office, the Trump administration has dismissed several officials involved in investigations against the president, sparking lawsuits by FBI agents and scrutiny of the DOJ’s actions. Shogan’s departure marks another move in Trump’s efforts to change leadership in agencies involved in investigations against him.
