Trump Says DOJ Will Sue California over Redistricting

However, he continues to celebrate similar Texas effort

On Monday, President Donald Trump said the Department of Justice (DOJ) will sue California over Governor Gavin Newsom's efforts to draw a new, Democratic-leaning congressional map.

The redistricting push in California was ignited by a similar effort underway in Texas to gerrymander key House districts to more heavily favor Republicans.

"I think I'm going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon, and I think we're going to be very successful in it," Trump said of Newsom's redistricting push during a lengthy press event in the Oval Office. "We're going to be filing it through the Department of Justice. That's going to happen."
