#Trump fired head archivist Colleen Shogan in early Feb in an apparent act of #retribution against the #NARA. Leaders of the agency had raised concerns about Trump’s holding onto boxes of #classified documents at his home in Florida after he left office in 2021, though Shogan was not involved in that episode.
4 days before Shogan’s firing, #Rubio announced he was the acting administrator for #USAID, as #ElonMusk …& #PeteMarocco, a political appointee in the #State Dept, were gutting the agency.

Contractors were notified of the termination in a memo sent from #USAID's office of Acquisition & Assistance, according to one such letter obtained by NPR. The memo stated that Secy #MarcoRubio & #PeteMarocco "have determined your award is not aligned with Agency priorities & made a determination that continuing this program is not in the national interest."

Another fired employee said the hundreds of dismissals meant that the #aid agency now had only a skeleton crew to respond to #humanitarian crises.
The appointee running day-to-day operations at #USAID is #PeteMarocco, a #State Dept official overseeing foreign aid who was a #divisive figure at the agency & other government departments in the first #Trump administration. Early this month, #MarcoRubio announced he was taking over the aid agency as acting administrator.

Rubio tapped #PeteMarocco, the director of foreign assistance at the #State Dept, to begin reviewing all of the work done by #USAID.…
…In early 2023, online sleuths who aided the FBI in cases against hundreds of #Jan6 rioters identified #Marocco & his now-wife as being among the rioters who stormed the Capitol…, pointing to multiple images of them on the Capitol grounds that day & CCTV video that shows…Marocco entering the Capitol through a broken window.
