• The 10 cases on the docket, which were previously indefinitely postponed, will now take place on May 4–6 and 11–13.
• There's no word if the public will be allowed to listen in live.

• The court granted an emergency stay on a subpoena late last year that would have allowed the release of Trump's financial records, setting up a Supreme Court showdown on the case.
• The decision to move to telephonic arguments means that a decision could come down on the president's financial records before the 2020 presidential election.
