Donald Trump Confirms White House Is Drawing Up Plans to Gut the Department of Education

President Donald Trump on Tuesday confirmed reports that his administration is working toward gutting the Department of Education.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Monday that the White House was drafting an executive order to defund the department. Trump has already issued several education-related executive orders in the last week.

“I want her to put herself out of a job,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, referring to his nominee to lead the agency, Linda McMahon.
