Washington, September 26 (RHC)-- In the United States, the magazine Mother Jones reports that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross lied under oath in testimony about the controversial citizenship question in the 2020 census.
Ross claimed that the Justice Department requested the addition of the question in order to better enforce the Voting Right Act, but new e-mails confirm that he was the one who approached the Justice Department about including the controversial question after consulting with senior White House officials.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, then-head of the widely discredited and now-defunct “Election Integrity Commission,” was one of the officials who lobbied Ross to add the question “at the direction of Steve Bannon.” Multiple lawsuits are challenging the inclusion of the citizenship question in the census.
