A U.S. Supreme Court first: arguments by teleconference including major one involving Trump

https://news.trust.org/item/20200413153438-tyb3y
WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday that for the first time it will hear cases argued by teleconference rather than in the courtroom due to the coronavirus pandemic including a dispute over whether President Donald Trump's tax and financial records should be disclosed.

Trump's appeals in three separate cases to prevent his financial records from being handed over to Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives committees and a New York prosecutor were due to have been heard on March 31 but were postponed on March 16 when the court delayed a series of cases over coronavirus concerns.

dares say he is above the law by allowing him to keep his taxes hidden then this country is in big trouble. I thought they would never do it but after watching them make people go out and vote in WI I'm not sure what I believe anymore.
