Trump administration drops legal fight to overhaul student loan forgiveness program

On Wednesday, the Trump administration moved to end its legal fight to overhaul a popular student loan forgiveness program. The Department of Justice had previously appealed after federal judges ruled against the administration's efforts in June.

The court rulings came in favor of advocates who argued that the proposed changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program risked compromising its structure and operations. The administration's decision to drop the legal battle halts the ongoing effort to restructure the initiative.
