The president fired Joe Biden's political appointees, including Harris' husband Doug Emhoff, from the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Trump official Mary Sprowls informed Emhoff and other Biden officials on Tuesday morning that his position was terminated 'effective immediately' according to the New York Times.
'On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council is terminated, effective immediately.'
Biden's former chief of staff Ron Klain, Barack Obama's national security adviser Susan Rice and Jill Biden's adviser Anthony Bernal were also fired.
Trump's action comes as Harris wants to propel herself back into the national political conversation with an upcoming major speech criticizing Trump.
The failed presidential candidate will deliver the keynote speech at the Emerge 20th anniversary gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.

The speech will be live-streamed, according to the organizer Emerge, a Democratic group that recruits and trains women to run for public office.
It's a major fundraiser as tickets cost up to $50,000 for a sponsor. But the group is also charging $25 per virtual watch.
Harris is expected to deliver a 'call to action,' urging activists and future candidates for political office to have the courage to make their voices heard about Trump's actions as president according to CNN.
'She will reflect on the enduring promise of America and issue a call to action in the face of reckless economic policies and the urgent and escalating crisis facing America's institutions and global leadership,' a person with knowledge of Harris' speech to the Los Angeles Times.
The group was founded after Harris won her race for San Francisco district attorney as her advisors believed there was a lack of resources to recruit women for political office.
'Vice President Harris is the original Emerge woman,' said A'shanti F. Gholar, president and CEO of Emerge, in a statement. 'She continues to be a champion for Emerge and an advocate for elevating women in elected office.'
News of Harris' return to the national stage drew mockery from critics.
‘When you fire a head coach the last person you want to hear from is a fired head coach,’ wrote Mike Lester on X.
‘Can’t wait to hear more about the duality of Democracy in this moment,’ wrote Steve Mur on X, mocking some of her empty messaging lines from the presidential campaign.
‘Oh, this should be really good! Good in terms of comedy. Her speech writers are busy right now putting cackles and word salad together and some gibberish about her being middle class and Trump being a dictator,’ wrote Tom Johnson on X.

'Everyone already knows she will fail at the speech given she slurs, makes up stories and gets lost in the middle of the stories,' wrote X user Bret Weingart
Harris return to the public stage raises questions about the next step of her political career as she weighs whether or not she wants to run for Governor of California in 2026.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is term limited from running again and is already eying the 2028 presidential race.
Democrats are also watching Harris to see if she wants to run again for president in 2028, as she feels she did not have enough time to be fully competitive in her failed 2024 campaign.
