@foxnews: Long time leader of the Smithsonian Lonnie Bunch announced he will retire at the end of the year after months of criticism from the Trump administration over the museums' portrayal of American history. The administration accused Smithsonian leadership of promoting divisive, left-wing messaging and threatened to cut federal support unless changes were made. Bunch said he is stepping down to begin a new chapter while continuing to defend the Smithsonian's historical mission.
