Justices Barrett and Kagan testify before Congress seeking security funding

Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett will testify before Congress on Tuesday. The two justices are scheduled to appear before a House Appropriations subcommittee to discuss the high court's 2027 budget.

The court is seeking an annual budget increase of approximately 10%. This request includes higher spending to bolster security amid a rise in threats against judges.

This appearance marks the first time in seven years that Supreme Court justices have testified before Congress. The testimony focuses on the need for additional funds to combat growing security concerns.
