President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the National Archives and Records Administration is facing scrutiny over the agency’s role in an investigation into former President Donald Trump as politics seeps into what would otherwise be a routine confirmation.
Colleen Shogan, Biden’s choice to be the agency’s next archivist, appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday to answer questions about her prospective role as the head of the NARA. During the hearing, Shogan faced questions from Republicans who wanted to press the historian for more information regarding the FBI raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last month.
The exchange brought an unusual spotlight to a nomination that has historically passed through the Senate without much debate or coverage. It also underscored the frustration among some Republican lawmakers that the details behind why the FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence remain unknown or have been heavily redacted.
