Overview
In a significant leadership upheaval at the National Archives, Deputy Archivist William Bosanko is stepping down effective Tuesday. This resignation follows President Trump’s recent dismissal of National Archivist Colleen Shogan. Bosanko, who has worked at the Archives since 1993, oversaw operations during key incidents including the Mar-a-Lago search warrant in August 2022. Trump's criticism of the Archives regarding his handling of classified documents has intensified, and sources indicate Bosanko was pushed out by a political appointee. With the White House set to install new leadership, there are rising concerns about the agency's future and its independence.
