A federal judge slammed the Trump administration today for its handling of a showdown with Congress over records relating to the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census
Holding his first hearing on the suit Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss said he was taken aback by two aspects of the administration’s position: that it cut off negotiations with the Congress after the contempt vote and that it has still not conducted a thorough review of the documents in dispute.
When Shapiro said the filing of briefs in the case might take a longer time if the Justice Department has to review all the documents and explain why they were withheld, Moss seemed surprised. In recent months, Trump administration officials have repeatedly cited with approval a legal opinion Moss issued during that time saying that the president could not be indicted while in office.
