Senator Warren Rakes Nominee Over Student Loans

(CNN) — In a tense exchange, Sen. Elizabeth Warren repeatedly questioned Donald Trump’s education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos on Tuesday over her commitment to protecting taxpayers from student loan abuse.

But the Massachusetts Democrat isn’t convinced she got the answers she wanted.

“As Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos would be in charge of running a $1 trillion student loan bank. She has no experience doing that,” the Massachusetts Democrat wrote Tuesday on her Facebook page following Devos’ testimony to the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “In fact, Betsy DeVos has no experience with student loans, Pell Grants, or public education at all.”
