WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump asserted executive privilege on Wednesday to keep under wraps documents on adding a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. census, defying a House panel’s subpoena in another move to stonewall Democratic lawmakers’ investigations.
The fight over adding a citizenship question to the census presents high stakes for both Trump’s fellow Republicans and the Democrats, with the 2020 U.S. elections looming. The U.S. Supreme Court is due to rule by the end of this month in the Trump administration’s appeal of a judge’s ruling blocking the addition of the question as a violation of federal law.
The Oversight Committee is looking into how the Trump administration devised its plan to add a citizenship question. The committee has said that Ross, whose department runs the census, told the panel that he added the question “solely” at the request of the Justice Department. The committee has said that documents and testimony also showed that discussions about the matter between Ross and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach were “orchestrated” by Steve Bannon, a former close adviser to Trump.
“This does not appear to be a good faith effort at negotiation,” Cummings said at the committee meeting. “Instead it appears to be another example of the administration’s blanket defiance of Congress’s constitutionally mandated authority. ... This begs the question: what is being hidden?”

Trump arms sales to Saudis unlikely to be blocked by CongressDonald Trump is facing a surge of bipartisan support to block his administration’s arms sales to Saudi Arabia, but he can breathe a sigh of relief that none of them are likely to become law Congress is spineless amphibian slime. Supporting the perpetrators of 9/11 is gross. To hell with those peasants. The king does as the king pleases. JKushner being influenced by foreign payments. So is T. I understand SA is an important allie against Iran. So, T. will do what he needs to for MBS as well as in the best interest for himself. T. will do whatever he needs to if he can make $$. The US usually doesn’t factor in.
