Trump: 'The Special Olympics will be funded'
By Brett Samuels - 03/28/19 04:28 PM EDT


President Trump said Thursday that he's overruled his administration officials on zeroing out funding for the Special Olympics in their budget proposal.

"The Special Olympics will be funded, I just told my people," Trump told reporters as he departed the White House for a campaign rally in Michigan.

"I've overridden my people," he added.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has faced mounting scrutiny from lawmakers in both major parties after the department's budget proposal for fiscal year 2020 did not include funding for the program.

“As you know, budgeting within the administration is a collaborative one,” DeVos said earlier Thursday. “As I said then and I’ll say again, we had to make tough choices and decisions around budget priorities."
