Responding to the virus outbreak, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments by phone for several cases, including the dispute over Trump's taxes.
Responding to the coronavirus outbreak, the Supreme Court announced Monday it would hear oral arguments over the telephone for the first time ever and provide a live audio feed for journalists.
On Monday, the justices said they would proceed to hear arguments on 10 of the cases that had been put on hold, including whether Congress can demand to see President Trump's tax returns. "In keeping with public health guidance in response to COVID-19, the justices and counsel will all participate remotely," the court statement read."The court building remains open for official business, but most court personnel are teleworking. The court building remains closed to the public until further notice."
Among the most high-profile disputes are a trio of Trump tax cases about whether a House committee or the New York grand jury may subpoena the president's financial records from his accountants.
