Ross now recalls conversations with Bannon, Sessions about citizenship

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross now recalls conversations with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and Attorney General Jeff Sessions about adding a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, according to a court document filed Thursday.

The recollection is the latest twist in litigation over the Trump administration’s decision to ask about citizenship in the decennial census.

..........................................................


In the document submitted today, the administration said Ross now remembered receiving a call from Bannon related to the issue in spring 2017.

Bannon asked Ross if he would be willing to speak with Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach about a possible citizenship question. Kobach, an immigration hard-liner, is the Republican nominee for Kansas governor.


Ross also said he recalled speaking with Sessions about the issue in spring 2017 and afterward.

A Commerce Department spokesman said the latest response from Ross “supplements the record but does not change the secretary’s story“ and “only adds to it.“

Ginsburg appears likely to refer the issue of the deposition to the full Supreme Court for consideration, POLITICO reported this week.

She’s expected to ask the full court to weigh in on whether to shield Ross from deposition, as well other fact-finding a judge has ordered, such as the deposition of a top DOJ official and the disclosure of an internal memo used to brief Sessions on the issue.
