Watch live: Melania Trump joins House roundtable to talk foster care reform

First lady Melania Trump will participate in a roundtable before the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday afternoon as part of the Trump administration’s effort to reform the foster care system.

Trump’s “Fostering the Future” initiative focuses on securing educational opportunities and scholarships for children in foster care. The Ways and Means Committee has also been pushing for legislation to modernize the Chafee program — which helps foster youth ages 14-21 who have aged out of the program.

The event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT.
