Supreme Court to Take Up LGBT Job Discrimination Cases

The Supreme Court will hear two cases next month concerning President Trump's bid to shield his financial records.

The Justices announced Wednesday the oral arguments will be heard on May 12th.

They were originally set for late March and early April but were postponed due to coronavirus health concerns.

The cases concern whether the House of Representatives and a New York prosecutor can subpoena the president's longtime accounting firm and banks for his records.

Earlier this week, the Justices announced that instead of holding oral arguments for cases in their august courtroom they would participate remotely by phone and allow the public to listen in real-time.

The Justices have never allowed the release of live audio of their proceedings.

It is also unclear if the court will keep to its usual end of June deadline to release all opinions.
