President Donald Trump will use an executive order Wednesday to bar transgender athletes under the federal Title IX law. That law bars sex discrimination at educational institutions that receive federal funds.

The U.S. House passed a bill, largely along partisan lines, that would ban transgender athletes from competing in women's and girls sports at schools and other educational institutions that receive federal funds.

The US Department of Education announced Thursday that it is launching an investigation into the MIAA for “apparent Title IX violations.”
