Trump fires head of Copyright Office after firing Librarian of Congress

The Trump administration fired Shira Perlmutter from her post heading the U.S. Copyright Office, just days after booting the nation’s Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden.

A spokesperson from the Copyright Office confirmed on Sunday that the White House sent Perlmutter an email on Saturday, saying, “your position as the Register of Copyrights and Director at the U.S. Copyright Office is terminated effective immediately.”
