A progressive government watchdog nonprofit group is asking Congress to investigate whether Education Secretary Betsy DeVos had any involvement in her brother’s efforts to spy on a Michigan teachers union, HuffPost has learned. DeVos has long had a hostile relationship with teachers unions. Since that time, he has worked closely with the Trump administration, enmeshing himself in some of the administration’s biggest controversies. Before becoming education secretary, DeVos reportedly paid to “suppress Google search hits connecting her to her brother,” the Wall Street Journal reported in December.
