Education Secretary Linda McMahon plans to spend nearly $43,000 on new office furniture, according to The New York Times and The Guardian.
The Times reported the plan from non-public records it saw. In those records, McMahon's office told Congress her current furniture is worn out. It said the pieces could not be fitted, in function or in appearance, into the agency's new office space.
McMahon is seeking to close the Education Department. The Guardian reports she had said the office relocation would save taxpayers $4.8m a year.
The Guardian reports the Trump administration responded by saying its education cuts are saving "millions of dollars."
