These historians oversee unbiased accounts of U.S. foreign policy. Trump fired them all.
An advisory committee of historians helps ensure the record of America’s history remains unbiased, transparent and thorough. Trump just fired the entire panel.

Taking the plane isn’t just accepting a bribe, it’s creating a national security risk. Hostile intelligence agencies must be enjoying yet another opportunity Trump is giving them.

Amid its slash-&-burn campaign against our diplomatic tools & agencies, the WH fired nonpartisan members of the State Department's Historical Advisory Committee without cause. Congress established HAC & its composition is determined by statute. Those improperly terminated should be reinstated.
