What will happen to the Education Department?

USA TODAY's Zach Schemerle joins LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to discuss the latest on the state of the Department of Education. The Wall Street Journal and other outlets reported Wednesday that President Trump was expected to sign an executive order aimed at eliminating the department. While he didn't sign the order this week, Trump said Thursday that he wants his new education chief, Linda McMahon, to ?put herself out of a job? and close the department. McMahon, who was confirmed by the Senate Monday, told employees it was the department?s ?final mission? to eliminate bureaucratic bloat and turn over the agency?s authority to states.
