Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is wearing another hat for the Trump administration, taking over as the acting librarian of Congress after the firing of Carla Hayden.
Blanche had been President Donald Trump’s criminal defense lawyer before becoming the second-ranking official inside the Justice Department.
Now Blanche has a second job following Trump's May 8 ouster of Hayden, the first Black librarian of Congress, over concerns about her focus on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
"We felt she did not fit the needs of the American people,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters May 9. “There were quite concerning things that she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.”
