LIVE: Justices Kagan, Barrett Testify Before Congress Amid Backlash Over Trump Ruling | SCOTUS News

Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett make a rare appearance before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee to defend the Supreme Court’s 2027 budget request—the first such testimony by sitting justices since 2019. The hearing comes amid intense scrutiny of the Court following a string of high-profile rulings involving President Donald Trump's agenda and renewed Democratic criticism that the conservative majority has increasingly favored Republican priorities. Lawmakers are also expected to question the justices about judicial security, ethics, public trust in the Court, and recent landmark decisions that have reignited debate over the Court’s direction. The Court is seeking roughly a 10% budget increase, with much of the additional funding dedicated to enhanced security amid rising threats against judges. #Live #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS #Trump #USCongress --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos, subscribe to our channel: / hookglobal Visit our website for more news: https://hooknews.com Follow Hook here: Instagram: / hooknewsfeed Snapchat: / kl5vqrtH X: / HookNewsfeed
