(Reuters) - President Donald Trump fired the Librarian of Congress, CarlaHayden, because she wasn't serving the interests of the American people, the White House said on Friday.
"There were quite concerning things that she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. "She has been removed from her position, and the president is well within his rights to do that."
