President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive action formally asking officials to take steps to largely dismantle the Department of Education, his latest effort to reduce the size of the federal government and its workforce.

Trump is slated to sign the order on Thursday, according to people familiar with the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss them. The order directs the secretary of education to take steps to close the department and “return education authority to the States,” according to a White House fact sheet on the order.

It also mandates that programs and activities receiving any remaining department funds not be used to advance diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. 

Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition, Joe and Julie Fine speak with:

  • Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall.
  • Former Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.
  • Senior advisor at Razom for Ukraine Melinda Haring.
  • Bloomberg Senior Editor for Technology and Strategic Industries Michael Shepard.
