Trump fires director of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery

President Trump is terminating the head of the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery, continuing his aggressive moves to reshape the federal government's cultural institutions.

Mr. Trump announced Friday on his Truth Social platform that he was ousting Director Kim Sajet, calling her a "highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate for her position."

Sajet, a Dutch citizen raised in Australia, was appointed to the post in 2013 by former President Barack Obama. She had previously served as president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
