Murkowski, Merkley Demand Answers on Trump’s Smithsonian Disclaimers The Smithsonian Institution has been embroiled in controversy over a series of disclaimers made by former President Donald Trump regarding his involvement with the organization.
Two high ranking members of Congress, Senators Mike Murkowski (R AK) and Jeff Merkley (D OR), have joined forces to demand answers from the Trump administration about the nature and implications of these disclaims.
The Disclaimers in Question The disclaimers pertain to a series of events and exhibitions sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, including the National Museum of Natural History's "Treasures of American History" exhibition.
