Hayden, on Thursday, drawing swift outcry from Democrats. Dr. Hayden was the first African American and first woman to serve as the head of the institution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Hayden, appointed as the 14th librarian of Congress by President Barack Obama in 2016, had overseen the library through President Trump\u2019s first term. The library, the oldest government-run cultural institution in the United States, only rarely gets a new leader. Dr. Hayden was its first since 1987.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She was fired in a two-sentence email from Trent Morse, the deputy director of White House personnel, according to a screenshot released by Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOn behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately,\u201d the email said, without citing a cause. \u201cThank you for your service.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokesman for the Library of Congress, Roswell Encina, confirmed the firing. Reached by phone, Dr. Hayden, 72, declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the Democratic minority leader, issued a statement describing Dr. Hayden as an \u201caccomplished, principled and distinguished\u201d leader of the library.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s unjust decision to fire Dr. Hayden in an email sent by a random political hack is a disgrace and the latest in his ongoing effort to ban books, whitewash American history and turn back the clock,\u201d Mr. Jeffries said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Morse did not immediately reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since returning to office, President Trump has moved quickly to assert control over American cultural institutions, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/12\/arts\/music\/trump-kennedy-center-chairman.html\" title=\"\">taking over<\/a> the John F.
