Trump Fires Top Copyright Official After Dismissing Library Of Congress Director

President Donald Trump’s administration dismissed the nation’s top copyright official just days after removing the Librarian of Congress.

Shira Perlmutter, who led the U.S. Copyright Office—an agency under the Library of Congress—was abruptly terminated, according to Fox News.

The U.S. Copyright Office told the outlet that Perlmutter had gotten an email from the White House which stated, “your position as the Register of Copyrights and Director at the U.S. Copyright Office is terminated effective immediately.”

On Thursday, Trump dismissed Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. Her removal was seen as part of the administration’s broader effort to replace officials viewed as resistant to Trump’s agenda.

Hayden appointed Shira Perlmutter to head the Copyright Office in October 2020. According to The Associated Press, both Hayden and Perlmutter were informed of their dismissals via email.

“Carla,” the letter to Hayden began. “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service,” it added.
