A federal magistrate judge has agreed to stay an order requiring Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to hand over documents from a meeting with President Donald Trump pending the results of an appeal. Judge James O’Hara in Kansas City, Kan., ordered Kobach Monday to provide the documents to the American Civil Liberties Union as part of the discovery process for an ongoing federal lawsuit seeking to overturn a Kansas law that requires voters to provide proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, when they registered to vote.
However, O’Hara agreed to stay that order Sunday, granting Kobach time to appeal the decision to U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson.
Robinson will determine whether Kobach should be compelled to hand over documents from a November meeting with Trump that took place shortly after the election.
