The House Oversight and Reform Committee filed a lawsuit against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross over the Trump administration’s moves to add a citizenship question to the Census in 2020.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, announced the lawsuit on Tuesday and claimed the White House is engaging in “brazen obstruction of Congress.”
