Summary

President Trump signs an Executive Order today to eliminate the Education Department, fulfilling a campaign promise he made multiple times. The order directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take action to close the department and return education authority to the states and local governments. The executive order needs congressional approval and will have to overcome a likely Democrat filibuster. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Ed Lawrence, chief White House correspondent for the FOX Business Network, who breaks down the intent and impact of this move.
