Sen. Josh Hawley called on Congress to investigate why federal government agencies were allowed to spend taxpayer dollars on training sessions related to White privilege and critical race theory, two days after President Trump signed an executive order ending the practice entirely. "I think that the president's action here to stop funding is absolutely appropriate," Hawley, R.-Mo., told Fox News during a phone interview. He said leaked documents indicated that racial sensitivity training has been held a the Treasury Department, the FBI and Homeland Security. An Energy Department spokeswoman said said the department's leadership did not have know about or authorize spending for social workshops at the Sandia National Laboratories, or elsewhere. Hawley wants to make sure that money is not used for racial sensitivity training by making it part of the law.
