Supreme Court blocks Trump mail-in voting executive orders ahead of midterms
The president criticized the decision as letting the country down, while FBI Director Kash Patel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Supreme Court rejected executive orders restricting mail-in voting for the upcoming midterm elections. Trump called mail-in voting "a laughing stock" across the world, though he has used it himself to cast ballots on several occasions.
FBI Director Kash Patel faced testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Democrats criticized his appointment. Senator Dick Durbin said Patel was "the least qualified and most partisan FBI director in our nation's history" and accused the bureau of being reshaped as a political weapon.
