1. Trump Organization Fraud Trial: The Supreme Court heard arguments this week in a case involving a fraud suit against the Trump Organization. The suit alleges that Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization engaged in a fraudulent scheme to involve sales of condominiums in Trump-branded developments. The Trumps deny any wrongdoing and argue that the case—which alleges that purchasers of the condos were misled about the Trump Organization’s role in the project—should be dismissed under the D.C. Anti-SLAPP Act, which protects people from frivolous lawsuits.

2. Supreme Court and Student Loans: The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments this week in an important case that will have a major impact on student loan borrowers. The case—which revolves around a dispute between the Department of Education and the National Consumer Law Center—could determine whether the federal government can continue to collect student loan payments from borrowers who had declared bankruptcy.

3. South Africa Scandal: South Africa is facing a new political scandal following the release of a report that alleges that some cabinet members had misused funds meant to fight the coronavirus pandemic. The report, which was compiled by public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, outlines several instances of alleged corruption, including the purchase of Covid-19 testing kits at inflated prices and the transfer of funds to unauthorized entities. President Cyril Ramaphosa has responded to the allegations by suspending several cabinet members and ordering investigations by law enforcement agencies.
