Trump official misled Congress about census citizenship question - probe By David Shepardson Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A watchdog agency found that former Commerce Department Secretary Wilbur Ross misrepresented the reasons for wanting to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, and the Trump administration declined to prosecute him, a probe showed on Monday. In a letter dated Friday, Commerce Department Inspector General Peggy Gustafson said Ross congressional testimony in March 2018 misrepresented the full rationale of the question when he said it was driven by a Justice Department request to aid in enforcing the Voting Rights Act. A spokesman for Gustafson s office said the Justice Department made its decision to decline prosecution of Ross in January 2020, when Donald Trump was president. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment when asked Monday if it would revisit that decision.
