President Donald Trump has fired several members of the board of trustees for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and make himself the center's chairman.

Trump said he would fire several Kennedy Center board members, including Chairman David M. Rubenstein, and make himself chair.

The move by the president, whose authority to make the changes was not clear, is the latest attempt to bring a Washington institution under his control.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed Colleen Shogan, the Archivist of the United States, and announced plans to shake up the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in his latest moves to upend institutions in Washington.

The president announced Friday that he would remove multiple board members, including the Chairman, who do not share his vision for a "Golden Age in Arts and Culture."

The president had an at-times contentious relationship with Washington's iconic theater during his first term.

Trump did not attend prominent events during his administration. The move comes as his directives have begun to force changes at Washington’s cultural institutions.
