Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated she believed Congress will work with the Trump administration in properly eliminating waste within the Department of Education.

McMahon detailed how she hopes the administration can look at the grants “over-seized” that had money appropriated by Congress as part of a larger effort to rid the department of waste and provide the best education to states. When asked if Congress will help with the Trump administration’s bid to wind down the Department of Education, McMahon said she is “very hopeful” this can be a reality, and that she has already spoken to lawmakers on this partnership.
