WASHINGTON (TNND) — As lawsuits move forward to stop President Donald Trump's executive order to dissolve the Department of Education, Open the Books is taking a closer look at the department.

Rachel O'Brien, who is the deputy public policy editor at OpenTheBooks.com, joined The National News Desk’s Angela Brown for a one-on-one interview Friday to discuss the findings.
