He is ready to take this all down
“It’s not clear to us what the intent is behind this request,” an anonymous official told The Washington Post. “The Trump team could be looking to advance gender issues and make it a priority ― or you could look at it as a witch hunt.”

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), the highest-ranking woman on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called the request “concerning” in a press release and appealed for the Trump team to clarify its intentions.

“I can promise that if the next administration intends to roll back programs designed to lift women up, it will very quickly meet stiff opposition in the Senate,” Shaheen said.

The Trump team also raised alarm with an Energy Department memo seeking the names of people who had worked on climate change.

I'm assuming the anonymous official was cracking a joke!

This is just one of the myriad of ways Trump will try to turn back time to 1950. I guess that's when he thought things were "great"...
