He’s been accused of flouting federal ethics rules, adding an illegal citizenship question to the 2020 Census and even falling asleep in meetings. Rumors of his pending ouster have been floating around the White House for months and at least two administration officials have eyed his job.
They credit his survival to his unique relationship with Trump and his family, one rooted in the social circles of Palm Beach, where Ross and his wife keep a home, as well as his ideological alignment with the president on the central issue of trade. But Ross’ relationship with Trump will face a tough new test on Thursday, when he appears before the House Oversight Committee in what promises to be a confrontational hearing about his decision to add a question about citizenship to the U.S. Census, which his department oversees.
“If I were him, I would consider starting with an apology, and then see where we go from there. Because if he comes in combative on this, it’s going to be a really long day,” said Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi , a member of the Oversight panel.
