Ping-pong balls to determine court venue for challenges to Biden's vaccine mandate
CNN
Challenges to the Biden administration's vaccine mandate targeting employers with more than 100 employees will be consolidated and heard by a federal appeals court to be chosen Tuesday by a ping-pong ball lottery.
The dramatic announcement could determine the ultimate fate of President Joe Biden's most controversial push to date to ensure that as many Americans as possible are vaccinated against Covid-19, especially after the emergence of a new strain of the virus.
The judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York on Friday informed the former president’s defense team and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office that a comment was posted on the New York State Unified Court Systems’ public Facebook page last week by a poster who claimed to be a cousin of a juror, saying that Trump would be convicted.
