President Donald Trump’s administration is launching an investigation into the University of California, Berkeley, claiming the school’s disclosures over foreign funding “may be incomplete or inaccurate.”

The Education Department said in a statement on its website Friday that it is seeking school records as part of the probe, saying that an earlier review had raised questions about the university’s funding disclosures.
