Washington President Donald Trump released the Congress Carla Hayden library on Thursday, a copy of her copy of her termination received by NBC News.

In the e -mail to Hayden, Trent Morse, the deputy director of the presidential staff, wrote: “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I write to inform you that your position as a librarian of the congress is immediately ended.”

The e -mail was shared to the Democrats of the congresses and received by NBC News.

The deputy, deputy librarian Robert Newlen sent an e -mail on Thursday, in which library employees were informed about the dismissal of Hayden, as can be seen from a copy of NBC News. Newlen said in the E -Mail that “he would take over the duties of the incumbent librarian of the congress until further instructions”.

A spokesman for the congress library later confirmed the termination of Hayden.

“Tonight, the White House informed the librarian of the Congress Carla Hayden that she was immediately freed from her position,” said the spokesman.

Hayden, the 14th librarian of the Congress in the 225-year history of the institution, was appointed by President Barack Obama in February 2016 and confirmed by the Senate in a cross-party vote from 74 to 18 in July 2016.

She was the first woman and the first African American who played the role, Milestones Obama called “long overdue”. In addition, she was the first librarian of the congress to take the position without a lifelong appointment, whereby Obama signed a law in 2015 to set up a 10-year term for the librarian of the congress. Your term should run out next year.

Before her term as a librarian of the congress, Hayden was the CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore.

In the statement by the Senate Committee on Tuesday morning and then at the House Administration Committee in the afternoon, she outlined her efforts to modernize and optimize the systems, processes and employees of the library in detail.

She is the second official who testified to the congress and was released this week after Cameron Hamilton was rejected as deputy director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Democrats have criticized Hayden's dismissal with Rep. Joe Morelle from New York, the top democrat of the House Administration Committee, who supervises the Congress Library, and accused Trump of having taught an official.

“The librarian of the congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, spent her entire career to serve people – from children to protect some of the most valuable treasures of the nation.

The chairman of the Senate Minister, Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., also called for an intervention by the congress.

“We have to assert our priority of the congress by taking the position of the librarian of the congress named by a congress commission -not by presidents who treat federal miners like Reality -TV prices,” he said in an explanation designated by e -mail, which “recent exercise of the rejection of Trump in his tireless campaign, which develops the laughter of our democracy” “, called.

The chairman of the House Minority, Hakeem Jeffries, DN.Y., described Trump's decision “ignorant” and said that “the America's libraries, our copyright -protected economic interests and the service to the American people influence it”.

“Donald Trump's unjust decision to relieve Dr. Hayden in an e -mail from a random political hack is a shame and the latest in his constant efforts to prohibit books, to ban American history Whitwash story and to turn the clock back,” added Jeffries in a statement.

A conservative non -profit group, the American Accountability Foundation, has targeted Hayden in the past few days. She accused her of being “awakened” and claimed that she had promoted access to books about “radical gender identity”.

The group praised Trump's decision to end Hayden.

“Thank you @Potus !!!! Woke & Radical Librarian of the Congress Carla Hayden was released,” says X.
