Summary

The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to review whether the Department of Government Efficiency must turn over internal communications sought by a watchdog group under the Freedom of Information Act. The Trump administration calls the demand "intrusive" and says it violates separation of powers; the court had earlier sided with the administration on emergency relief. The case is expected to be argued early next year. The court also agreed to hear an asylum case involving a Nigerian cook and declined to hear a gun-rights appeal from a felon convicted on marijuana-growing charges.
