Not that I think members of Congress have added themselves or their staff to the PCC List, but can you imagine the uproar this practice could create if it came to their attention. LC would be branded a partisan institution, further justifying cuts to its budget.

Agreed.  I hope they have been removed.  These allegations have been widely covered and don’t belong in the record.  This is the journalist or biographer’s job, not ours.

By the way, I am not a fan of the current resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. either.

I have to weigh in on this, as well.

It adds to nothing and I also think it ought to be removed.

Allison
The last three 670s contain no information justifying data in the NAR, nor any name variants, nor any information needed to identify the person. I agree they are inappropriate; they are also unnecessary, and in my opinion ought to be removed.

Dear colleagues:
     While I have no respect whatsoever for the person currently holding the office, is such non-objective information what we really want in our authority records?:

678  Donald Trump (born 1946) is a U.S. real estate developer, billionaire, television personality, political candidate, and author. Trump has been accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, by at least fifteen women since the 1980s.

    Following that perverse logic, I would expect such additions as: 372  Sexual harassment of women  $2 lcsh

    Seriously, I try to exclude all judgmental characterizations—positive or negative—from my authority work, and I believe others should do so as well.  IMO, whoever added the data in bold-face ought to remove it. It just adds fuel to an already out-of-control conflagration.

Thanks,
