Congress Fights Back Against Trump's Library of Congress Takeover

In a rare bipartisan effort, Congress is pushing back against President Trump's attempt to take over the Library of Congress. The move, which experts say threatens the separation of powers, follows the unceremonious firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and first African American to hold the position of Librarian of Congress. President Trump's replacement, Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General, has no experience in library science. "This is a clear attempt to politicize an important institution," said one congressional aide. The video highlights a growing movement to contact elected officials and voice support for Dr. Hayden's reinstatement. This bipartisan effort underscores the significance of protecting the Library of Congress's independence and integrity.
