Felon-In-Chief Fires Director Of National Portrait Gallery

The Washington Post reports:

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has fired the director of the National Portrait Gallery, Kim Sajet, whom he called “highly partisan.” The dismissal marks the first action Trump has taken against the Smithsonian Institution since an executive order he signed earlier this year that promised to eliminate “divisive narratives” and “anti-American ideology” from the museum and research body, which is partially funded by the federal government.

It is unclear if the president has authority to dismiss Sajet. The Smithsonian’s programming is not under the purview of the executive branch, and personnel decisions for senior-level Smithsonian museum positions are made by Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III.

Sajet, who formerly served as president and chief executive of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, was selected to lead the Portrait Gallery in 2013 — becoming the first woman to serve in the role. As director, Sajet has focused on diversifying the gallery’s collection and programming by acquiring works that reflected a broader range of artists and subjects.
