() Newly confirmed Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon believes student loans, Pell Grants and other federal aid “might best be served in another department,” though it’s unclear which that would be.

“We’re looking at them all across the board, and how can they be best handled if the Department of Education, you know, does not exist,” McMahon told ” Live” on Friday.

McMahon reiterated that her “mission” of dissolving the department she’s tasked with leading has not changed but even if the department shutters, she said federal funding isn’t expected to end.

“This is not a turn off the lights and walk out of the department,” McMahon said. “It’s with close consultation with Congress and looking how the needs of students can best be serviced.”

The department has been on the chopping block since Trump’s presidential campaign, when he advocated for giving education power to the states.
