The Supreme Court dismissed a dispute on Monday surrounding Democrats' pursuit of government records stemming from the former Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
In a brief unsigned order, justices tossed out the case after Democratic lawmakers voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit in a lower court, which the Biden administration was defending.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the pack, saying she would have used a different procedural mechanism to throw out the case.
The hotel operated throughout former President Donald Trump's single term in office, prompting legal and ethical concerns from Democrats who speculated whether people buying rooms were seeking to influence the White House. Trump's company sold the lease last year, and the hotel now operates as a Waldorf Astoria.
