Per White House official on X, Trump fired the 11th Archivist of the United States tonight.
Gor gave no rationale nor cause.
Federal law requires President to communicate the reasons for any removal to Congress:

She re-appointed me to the National Archives FOIA Advisory Committee, & always heard me out when I raised concerns about public business, including the ERA.
She was the first woman to be AOTUS.
Our union is weaker without her service.

It just won’t be upheld unless Members find spines.
He has the authority to do so.
Congress may or may not object to not being informed.
Her predecessor referred Trump & retired.
Deputy AOTUS oversaw NARA until Shogan confirmed.
(She retired in 2023.)
( I was wondering if there was a revenge angle)
The people who referred him are all gone. She wasn’t involved.
But there may be other reasons he wants a loyalist there than a nonpartisan appointee.
