Recently appointed as the acting director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Secretary of State Marco Rubio has assumed an additional responsibility as the acting director of the U.S. Archives. This move comes amidst President Donald Trump's new administration reshuffling key positions.
Trump's decision to replace the former national archivist, Colleen Shogan, appointed by former President Joe Biden, was prompted by concerns over classified documents allegedly taken by Trump to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida post his term. This led to an FBI raid and subsequent indictment of Trump by former Special Counsel Jack Smith.
