The bipartisan commission planning national celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. has reportedly fired its executive director, a 25-year-old former Fox News producer chosen for the post by the White House.
Ariel Abergel clashed with fellow members of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission during his brief tenure, with colleagues reportedly concerned he was overstepping his role and working to make the national celebrations about President Trump, sources told The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the firing.
