Trump Fires Biden-Appointed Board Members of U.S. Holocaust Memorial, Including Doug Emhoff

HeadlineApr 30, 2025

President Trump has fired some of former President Biden’s nominees to the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Among those fired is Doug Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, who was appointed to a five-year term on the board in January. In a statement, Emhoff wrote, “Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. To turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous.”
