Trump sacks another Washington arts chief

Trump sacks another Washington arts chief

Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery, has been dismissed by tweet.

Ttump said: ‘Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am herby terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National Portrait Gallery.

Sajet, an art historian from the Netherlands, has been in the job since 2013.
