The White House is planning a far-reaching review of Smithsonian museum exhibitions in order to ensure they align with President Trump’s interpretation of U.S. history. That’s according to The Wall Street Journal, which obtained a letter from a White House official instructing that Smithsonian exhibits should be “accurate, patriotic, and enlightening — ensuring they remain places of learning, wonder, and national pride for generations to come.” This comes after the Smithsonian removed references to Trump’s two impeachments during his first term in office.
Meanwhile, CNN is reporting the White House moved its official portrait of former President Barack Obama from a prominent position that could be viewed by White House visitors. Portraits of George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, were also moved out of public view.
