Betsy DeVos: I was 'undercoached' by Trump transition team for confirmation hearing

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos blamed the Trump transition team for how it handled her Senate confirmation hearing in January, saying she was “undercoached” and prohibited from defending herself in the media, which crippled her ability to respond to criticisms for weeks.

Many Democrats accused DeVos of being unprepared for her confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee in January, as she struggled to answer questions on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and school accountability, among others.
