The Justice Department is changing attorneys in the census citizenship-question battle
The Justice Department announced Sunday night that it is assigning a new team of attorneys to defend President Donald Trump’s continuing attempts to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census.
It was not immediately clear whether the legal team handling the citizenship question cases asked to be removed from the cases or were directed to relinquish their role. A Justice Department lawyer who’d handled those cases, Joshua Gardner, found himself seeking to explain why he told the court that the administration was throwing in the towel following an adverse decision from the Supreme Court late last month, but Trump announced on Twitter that he planned to press on.
