Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett are scheduled to testify next week to a House Appropriations subcommittee about the high court’s fiscal 2027 budget request, according to an agenda released Tuesday.
Their testimony on July 14 will be the first time Supreme Court justices have testified to Congress since 2019, when Kagan and Samuel Alito testified about the court’s budget request to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government. Kagan and Barrett will appear before the same panel.
Kagan has served on the court since 2010, after her appointment by then-President Barack Obama, a Democrat. Barrett has been a justice since 2020. She was appointed by President Donald Trump, a Republican.
CNBC has requested comment from a spokeswoman for the Supreme Court about the scheduled testimony. The hearing will come two weeks after the Supreme Court issued its final opinions for the 2025-26 term.
