Justice Department 'Instructed' to Find Way to Put Citizenship Question on Census

President Donald Trump’s Wednesday morning announcement that he still aimed to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite a serious Supreme Court setback, appears to coincide with the Department of Justice being "instructed" to find a way to include it.

In a tweet, the President contradicted his own Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice, which had confirmed on Tuesday night that the Census will not include a question about citizenship.
