Previously, a DC Circuit Court of Appeals panel agreed with Perlmutter that only the Senate-confirmed Librarian of Congress can remove her.<\/li>\n<li>High-level Trump allies showed up at the Library of Congress last year claiming to assume control based on Trump&#8217;s letter, but were rejected by library officials who challenged the appointments in court.<\/li>\n<li>Perlmutter\u2019s removal bid allegedly stemmed from her report suggesting licensing requirements for copyrighted material used in AI, contrary to Trump\u2019s apparent opinion.<\/li>\n<li>The Trump administration contested the DC Circuit\u2019s earlier call to uphold Perlmutter&#8217;s protection, arguing that her roles encompass executive duties, notably international copyright diplomacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Library of Congress official Trump tried to fire can keep her job for now, Supreme&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":238965,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.cnn.com\/api\/v1\/images\/stellar\/prod\/150409141308-07-library-040915.jpg?q=x_4,y_217,h_2389,w_4247,c_crop\/w_800","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-238964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238964"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238964"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238964\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":238966,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238964\/revisions\/238966"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
