President Donald Trump on Friday had his team remove the head of the agency that produces the monthly jobs figures, after a weak report showed hiring slowed and was much weaker in April and May than previously reported.

President Donald Trump said Sunday night that he would announce a replacement Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner “some time over the next few days” and baselessly claimed again that the bureau’s former chief — whom he fired Friday — had made revisions to the jobs report as part of a “scam.” Revisions to jobs reports are not uncommon.
