The White House is defending President Donald Trump’s decision to sack the first woman and first non-white person to serve as Librarian of Congress by stating that ousted librarian Carla Hayden “did not fit the needs of the American people.”
Hayden, who was confirmed to serve a 10-year term in 2016 and had one year left in the job, was also the first professional librarian to lead the library since the 1970s.
