Complete nothingburger. The malicious action would be to subtly change key datasets to promote some kind of biased narrative. It wouldn't be the removal of less than 1% of the datasets.

Comical to think the Trump admin would be the ones "scrubbing" data when they passed the OPEN Government Data Act as part of the Foundations for Evidence Based Policymaking Act at the beginning of 2019. The law that requires agencies to publish their data to the site!

Trump must really be playing 4d chess if one of the first actions in office is to "scrub" a few obscure and yet unidentified datasets from data.gov.
