'Should be removed': Democrats ramp up calls to impeach Education Secretary McMahon
She says she's following Trump's mandate to dismantle her department.
Senate Democrats are intensifying calls to impeach Education Secretary Linda McMahon and launch an inspector general's investigation into her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. McMahon, a proponent of returning educational authority to the states, has implemented numerous changes, including firing over 40% of the agency's staff and closing regional divisions.
Her actions have been met with criticism from Democrats, who argue that McMahon is harming students, federal employees, and public education. White House officials maintain that McMahon is successfully transferring education responsibility back to the states and prioritizing student needs.
