A cast of well-known politicians and Trump administration officials sat in the U.S. Supreme Court courtroom Wednesday morning to hear the high-stakes arguments in the challenge to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs – with one unexpected comedian also in attendance.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, three figures deeply ingrained in Trump’s tariff policy, sat and listened as the nine justices drilled Solicitor General D. John Sauer about the administration’s justification for the tariffs.
