Director of the Presidential Personnel Office Sergio Gor made the announcement on X:

At the direction of @realDonaldTrump the Archivist of the United States has been dismissed tonight. We thank Colleen Shogan for her service.

Colleen Shogan was nominated by Joe Biden in 2022 to head the NARA — an agency that was weaponized against President Trump during the Biden regime.

Months prior to the infamous Mar-a-Lago raid, which involved dozens of FBI agents storming President Trump’s estate and seizing ‘classified’ documents, NARA had conducted their own raid of the property.

Newsmax reported:

The Trump administration announced Friday night that Colleen Shogan, archivist of the United States, has been dismissed.

“At the direction of @realDonaldTrump the Archivist of the United States has been dismissed tonight. We thank Colleen Shogan for her service,” Sergio Gor, director of the Presidential Personnel Office, said in a post to X.

The move was expected. Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier this month, “We will have a new archivist.”

Shogan herself expected to be replaced, just not this soon, and was shocked when she was told, CNN reported.

Shogan was nominated by former President Joe Biden in 2022 and had served since 2023. As archivist, she oversaw the National Archives and Records Administration, which was at the center of the federal indictment against Trump for possessing classified documents.

CNN added:

The role of the National Archives took on new prominence in recent years, coming under scrutiny from Republicans in the wake of the search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort as part of an investigation into the handling of presidential documents, including classified documents.

At the time, the Archives asked the Department of Justice to investigate Trump’s handling of White House records.

Trump has been critical of the National Archives in the past, telling radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview last month the previous archivist in place during the Mar-a-Lago raid, David Ferriero, “was a disaster,” before hinting he planned to replace Shogan.

“I think I can tell you that we will get somebody,” he told Hewitt. “Let me just put it – yeah, we will have a new archivist.”
