Critics blast Greg Abbott for being there as Trump signed order to close Education Department
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is drawing fire for appearing at Thursday's White House photo op where President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at eliminating the Education Department. Trump — who's criticized the department as wasteful and corrupted by progressive ideology — has publicly said he's tasked Education Secretary Linda McMahon, an anti-union billionaire and WWE co-founder, with scrapping the agency. While the president has the ability to cut staff and resources, the department likely can't be abolished without an act of Congress, experts maintain.
