Rep. Joe Morelle (NY-25) issued this statement days after #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump fired Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden:
“Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights [and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office], Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It is surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models."
