The Trump administration last month quietly fired members of the Advisory Committee on Historical Diplomatic Documentation, a nonpartisan body tasked with publishing a record of U.S. foreign policy.

“On behalf of President Donald Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position on the Advisory Committee on Historical Diplomatic Documentation is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service,” read one of the April 30 termination emails from Cate Dillon, the White House liaison to the State Department, according to The Washington Post.

A senior State Department official told the Post “there is a plan in place to maintain the committee” but did not respond to The Hill’s request for comment on the firings.

The nine-member panel is tasked with reviewing records to make recommendations to the State Department’s Office of the Historian and Foreign Service Institute for its Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series, which documents major U.S. foreign policy decisions.

The first volume was published in 1861 to document former President Lincoln’s foreign policy during the Civil War. To date, more than 450 volumes have been printed. The office had begun research on the Clinton administration, according to its website.

However, past chairs of the Historical Advisory Committee (HAC) speculated the entity was discontinued in an effort to skew U.S. history for partisan purposes.
