About this episode

Supreme Court justices testify before Congress seeking additional security funding amidst various political developments.

It's an exceptionally busy day in Washington, where two Supreme Court justices are testifying before Congress in a very rare, personal pitch to lawmakers requesting tens of millions of dollars in additional security funding. Over on Capitol Hill, House Speaker Mike Johnson is holding a news conference on the GOP's agenda. And we've also got our eyes on new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who's testifying on the state of the economy in a critical hearing that could set the tone for how he deals with inflation. Meanwhile, President Trump is preparing to greet the prime minister of Iraq as the White House escalates attacks on neighboring Iran and shifts its policy on the Strait of Hormuz.  Learn more about your ad choices.
