The Supreme Court on Friday announced they will delay its arguments throughout April as coronavirus continues to spread throughout the U.S., delaying arguments by Democrats to obtain President Donald Trump’s financial records that were already delayed in March.
“The Court will consider rescheduling some cases from the March and April sessions before the end of the Term, if circumstances permit in light of public health and safety guidance at that time,” Kathy Arberg, a Supreme Court spokeswoman, said in a statement. “The Court will consider a range of scheduling options and other alternatives if arguments cannot be held in the Courtroom before the end of the Term.”
The court postponed arguments scheduled for April 20-22 and April 27-29.
