Supreme Court to Rule on Trump Hotel Records Dispute

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could allow members of the House and Senate minority to demand information from federal agencies and the White House. The case centers on a 95-year-old federal law known as "the seven-member rule," which allows any seven members of the House Oversight Committee to demand records from anywhere in the federal government. The case began with a Democrat-led effort in 2017 to obtain records related to former President Donald Trump's lease of the Old Post Office building to operate his hotel. The Biden administration has aligned itself with Trump in opposing the use of the seven-member rule.
