A dispute over former President Richard Nixon's biography at the Smithsonian Institution's 'America's Presidents' exhibit has spiralled into a political controversy after President Donald Trump's longtime ally, Roger Stone, urged the POTUS to fire everyone at the museum. The row centres on a description at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery that incorrectly stated Nixon was impeached following the Watergate scandal.
The error was later acknowledged and corrected, but not before critics accused the institution of misrepresenting a pivotal chapter of American history. Among the most vocal was Roger Stone, a self-described Nixon admirer whose political career was heavily influenced by the former president.
