Last week the Supreme Court rejected @CommerceGov’s effort to add a citizenship question to the Census after internal emails to Sec. Ross revealed lies about their motivation.

More emails have surfaced showing Ross also met with a major white nationalist and Holocaust denier— 1/
The emails from Chuck Johnson, a white nationalist, conspiracy theorist, fake news purveyor, and Holocaust denier, went through Sec. Wilbur Ross' official and personal email accounts.

I'm following up with Sec. Ross to demand details about the meeting(s) and communications. 2/
The emails were obtained by @DemocracyFwd via FOIA; reporting by @alexnazaryan of @YahooNews confirmed that at least one meeting between Johnson and Wilbur Ross took place. We don't know yet where it happened, who was present, or what they discussed. 3/ news.yahoo.com/why-did-rightw…
We know from their emails that Johnson requested two meetings with Ross, one of which he said regarded a "national security matter."

We don't know what they discussed electronically or in person, or how many times they met. The answers may be on Ross' personal email account. 4/
It doesn't touch on Wilbur Ross, but white nationalist Chuck Johnson also bragged in these emails to Ross that he would be in DC "speaking before about 30 congressmen on tech issues." I have no idea who they were, but suspect their constituents would like to know. 5/
Why did Wilbur Ross agree to a meeting with a prominent white nationalist and Holocaust denier?

How many times did they meet, and where? What did they discuss?

Given his position of public trust, Sec. Ross owes the American people an explanation. 6/6 beyer.house.gov/news/documents…
