Barrett: Threats to Federal Judges Are 'Really High' as Court Seeks Security Budget Boost
Justice Amy Coney Barrett told a House subcommittee that the threat level against federal judges is 'really high' as the Supreme Court requests $228.4 million for fiscal 2027, about a 10% increase to fund security measures. She recounted receiving a bulletproof vest after a leak and a swatting incident, joining Justice Elena Kagan in testifying on Capitol Hill about security needs and the court's budget.
