The Trump administration is investigating California's high-speed rail project. They might take away $4 billion in funding because of delays and cost overruns.
People voted for the project in 2008 to connect San Francisco and Los Angeles by train. It was supposed to be finished by 2020 but is now expected to cost much more and take longer.
Right now, they are building a smaller part of the train line between Bakersfield and Merced. This part should be done by 2033, and the whole project might be done in 20 years.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he wants to see if California is using the money properly. If not, he might give the money to other projects in different states.
California officials say they need the money and are doing everything right. They say the project is creating jobs and will be good for the state.
