According to a newly released email first reported by the New York Times, the Trump administration engaged in an “unprecedented” level of interference in the 2020 census.
The email, which was distributed amongst census officials in September of 2020, showed administration officials pressured the bureau to end the census count early.

Hansi Lo Wang, NPR’s national correspondent covering the story, joins Charles Blow on “Prime” to discuss.
