Biden yanks Trump appointee who spoke to white supremacists from commission that monitors Holocaust sitesPresident Joe Biden removed from a commission that monitors Holocaust sites a Trump appointee with ties to white supremacists.
In a letter obtained by a reporter for Politico, the White House asked Darren Beattie on Jan. 14 to resign from the Commission for the Preservation of Americas Heritage Abroad by the end of the day or be removed.
The commission identifies and works to secure the preservation of historical sites in Europe, such as cemeteries, monuments and Holocaust killing sites, that are associated with the heritage of U.S. citizens.
Former President Donald Trumps appointment of Beattie to the commission in 2020 stirred controversy among Jewish groups and led to demands for his removal. It was one of several appointments of young loyalists to prestigious commissions that Trump made after he lost the election.

"Darren Beattie was named by former president Donald Trump to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of Americas Heritage Abroad in November 2020. In a letter Friday, Gautam Raghavan, deputy director of the White House office of presidential personnel, told Beattie that he must turn in his resignation by the end of business Friday and if he did not, his position would be terminated," reported Mariana Alfaro. "Beattie confirmed the White Houses letter in a Friday afternoon tweet, saying the request for his resignation was 'better than a Pulitzer [Prize].'"
"On Sunday, the former president issued a statement praising Beattie for pushing his baseless claims about Jan. 6, when the pro-Trump mob invaded the Capitol to stop the affirmation of Joe Bidens electoral college win, an attack that left five dead and 140 members of law enforcement injured," said the report. "'Because of Darrens work, and others, Americans arent buying into the Unselect Committees attempts to smear 75 million (plus!) Americans,' Trump said, in an apparent reference to his 2020 voters. He received about 74 million votes; Biden got about 81 million."
The main purpose of the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad is to memorialize victims of the Holocaust.
