The Trump administration is forcing out senior leadership at the National Archives and Records Administration in a major shakeup, according to a source familiar. President Donald Trump has been highly critical of the archives since the agency asked the Department of Justice to investigate Trump’s mishandling of classified documents after he left office. Following the dismissal of Archivist Colleen Shogan last week, Trump officials made it clear to agency staff that the White House wanted to remove the leadership team and replace top officials with Trump loyalists, according to the source. The first notice to staff came in an email Friday from Deputy Archivist William J. Bosanko, who told members of his team that he was retiring and that it had been “a privilege and an honor to work” at the Archives for the last 32 years. A career veteran, whose mother also had a long career at the National Archives, Bosanko went on to write, “Please focus on the mission and look out for one another … You have my deepest respect and admiration. I feel an immense sense of sadness that I am not by your side at this important time in the history of the agency.” In addition to Bosanko, five other senior officials are also expected to resign, according to the source. CNN has reached out to the National Archives and the White House for comment.

Since early December the US Coast Guard and other military branches have boarded and taken control of five oil ships that had previously been sanctioned, all either accused of being in the process of transporting Venezuelan oil or on their way to take on oil that has been subject to US sanctions since President Donald Trump began a pressure campaign against the leadership of the country during his first term.
