NextImg:BREAKING REPORT: Trump expected to issue order shutting down Department of Education today – The Right Scoop

It sounds like it’s finally happening, at least according to reports. President Trump is expected to sign an order today that will begin the abolition of the Department of Education.

Here’s the news via Reuters:

President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order aimed at his long-held goal of abolishing the U.S. Department of Education, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

The order may come as soon as Thursday, the newspaper said, citing people familiar with the matter whom it did not name. The White House and the department did not immediately respond to requests for comment late on Wednesday.

Trump has repeatedly called for eliminating the department, calling it a “big con job.” He proposed shuttering it in his first term as president, but Congress did not act.

His fellow Republicans have long sought to chip away at its funding and influence, and his education secretary, Linda McMahon, who was confirmed by the Senate on Monday, has defended Trump’s plan to abolish the agency.

Trump said last month he wanted the department to be closed immediately, but acknowledged he would need buy-ins from Congress, which determines its funding, and teachers’ unions.

President Trump is expected to sign executive orders today at 2PM and we’ll have that for you live.
