Smithsonian Strips Trump's Name From American History Museum's Impeachment Exhibit
HuffPost
The change comes months after the president's executive order to bar "anti-American ideology" from the museum and research institution.
WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History has removed explicit reference to President Donald Trump from an exhibit about impeachment, a spokesperson said on Thursday.
The museum in Washington D.C. made the change as part of a review that it agreed to undertake following White House pressure to remove an art museum director, the Washington Post, which first reported the removal, cited a source as saying.
The spokesperson in a statement said “a future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments.”
Trump signed an executive order in March calling for “improper, divisive or anti-American ideology” to be removed from the Smithsonian - the vast museum and research institution that is a premier exhibition space for U.S. history and culture.
The order raised concern of political interference at the institution as well as fear that his administration is undoing decades of social progress and undermining the acknowledgment of critical phases of American history.
