DeVos faced bipartisan backlash last month after her department proposed cutting funding for the Special Olympics. 

The program faced $17.6 million in cuts, but President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE later backed off the cuts, saying he overruled his administration officials who sought to zero out funding for the Special Olympics. 

Trump’s decision came hours after DeVos defended the cuts in front of Senate appropriators.

“It is no surprise to me that these things keep happening, and she not only has tried to defund special education, but she also tried to get rid of the Special Olympics funding if you watched any of this,” Klobuchar said. 

“I think we noted that literally just a few trips back to Mar-a-Lago and back with the president would have actually funded the Special Olympics funding,” she continued, referring to governments costs to cover Trump’s visits to his Florida resort.
