White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump on Wednesday would sign the actions, which were detailed in fact sheets seen by Bloomberg News and provided by people familiar with the president’s plans on condition of anonymity. Trump campaigned on reshaping the Department of Education and cracking down on what conservatives bemoan as a left-leaning political climate in schools.
