Kobach Ordered to Turn Over Document He Used in Meeting With Trump
Topeka — A federal magistrate judge in Kansas City, Kan., has ordered Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to turn over a document he used during a meeting with then President-elect Donald Trump that focused on immigration issues.
The existence of the document became public when Kobach was photographed going into the meeting with Trump on Nov. 21 at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. He was holding a legal pad binder and several papers, one of which was clearly visible to TV and still cameras.
U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. O’Hara issued an order Wednesday that Kobach turn over that document to the court, along with one other, as part of a lawsuit challenging the state’s proof-of-citizenship voter registration law.
The document was titled “Department of Homeland Security / Kobach Strategic Plan for First 365 Days.” Portions of the page that were visible showed proposals for amendments to the National Voter Registration Act, or NVRA, which is at the heart of the lawsuit challenging the proof-of-citizenship law.
