A White House official told NBC News that Trump plans to expand his review of museums beyond the Smithsonian, which is based in Washington, D.C.

President Trump is reigniting a debate over how Americans speak about diversity after saying the Smithsonian museums focus on how bad the country is.

There are heightened concerns for D.C.'s Smithsonian museums after President Trump issued a Truth Social post criticizing the institution and what he called “woke” culture.

In April, the National Museum of African American History and Culture sparked controversy after it announced it would return several artifacts to their donors, including a Bible carried during a civil rights protest and Harriet Tubman’s book of hymns, NBC News reported.

"The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of "WOKE," he wrote.

President Trump continued his crusade against the Smithsonian museum, on Tuesday saying he has instructed his attorneys to "go through the Museums" the same way that the administration has investigated universities nationwide.
