Washington, November 21 (RHC)-- Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon to head the Department of Education, which Trump has pledged to shut down.  McMahon is the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment.  She headed the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term. 

Linda McMahon gave at least $15 million to a pro-Trump PAC during this election.  She and her husband Vince McMahon were recently sued for failing to stop a WWE ringside announcer from sexually assaulting young boys. 

McMahon is the co-chair of Trump’s transition team with another billionaire, Howard Lutnick, the chief executive of the Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald.  On Tuesday, Trump picked Lutnick to serve as commerce secretary.
