Washington — The Supreme Court said Monday that it will consider whether House Democrats can sue to get information from a federal agency about its lease for the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C., that was awarded to a company owned by former President Donald Trump.
Oral arguments in the dispute will be heard by the justices in its next term, which begins in October. The case, known Carnahan v. Maloney, is a showdown between the Biden administration, which took over the case after Trump left office, and Democratic lawmakers.
The court battle stems from a 2013 agreement between the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Trump Old Post Office LLC, owned by the former president and three of his children, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump. Trump's company renovated the building, which sits blocks from the White House, and converted it into a luxury hotel, the Trump International Hotel. Trump's company ultimately sold the hotel last year, and it was reopened as a Waldorf Astoria.
