Congress has passed a bill compelling the Justice Department to release documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

For weeks, President Trump and Republican House leadership fought a vote on the

The bill's now headed to the president's desk after the Senate approved it by unanimous

consent. The Trump administration unveiled its most extensive plans yet to dismantle the

Department of Education, NPR's Corey Turner reports.

The department says it has signed six agreements with other federal agencies to essentially

outsource the work of the Education Department.

For example, work normally done by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education

will be moving to the Department of Labor, as will the work of the Office of Post-Secondary

Other work will shift to the State Department, Interior, and HHS.

Staff will also be moving with just a few Education Department leaders remaining behind to provide oversight.
