The White House has launched a review of the Smithsonian museums, with reports suggesting the administration has issued a critical assessment of the institution's activities. The Smithsonian's leadership has disputed the characterization of the museum's work in the report, which allegedly accuses the museum of "extreme political activism" and presenting a "radical view of American history". The nature and scope of the review and the report's findings are not entirely clear, with some outlets indicating the White House is seeking to influence the museum's programming and exhibits.
