The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Carnahan v. Maloney, a case concerning the ability of House Democrats to sue for information from a federal agency regarding a lease for the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C. that was awarded to a former President Donald Trump's company. The Biden administration is represented by Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who argued that the appeals court decision allowing the lawsuit threatens the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches. The outcome of the case could determine the extent to which Congress is able to obtain information from the executive branch in the future.
