A group of Republican Indiana state lawmakers visited the White House on Tuesday in a previously scheduled meeting with the Trump administration.
It’s unknown whether discussions centered around redistricting. President Donald Trump has been pushing Republican-controlled states such as Texas, Florida and now Indiana to carve out more pro-GOP congressional districts.
“They were not even scheduled to meet with President Trump, just all the department heads that will discuss what each does and give them contact info,” said Indiana state Rep. Julie Olthoff, a Republican from Crown Point in Northwest Indiana. “The point of the meeting in DC is not redistricting and was set up months ago before the discussion began.”
