Judge Looking At New Evidence In Census Sanctions Issue:  The new evidence that the House Oversight Committee turned up in its census probe will now be in front of a federal judge as he considers whether to sanction the Trump administration for its behavior in the census citizenship case.

The judge has given the administration until Friday to respond to the allegations.
