Appeals Court Blocks June 9 Testimony on $166 Billion Trump Tariff Refunds
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 4
Summary
A federal appeals court temporarily halted an order requiring Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott to testify at a June 9 hearing on the Trump administration’s plan to refund tariffs.
The Federal Circuit granted the Justice Department’s request to pause Scott’s appearance while it considers whether to block the testimony for the longer term.
The dispute centers on $166 billion in tariffs that the US Supreme Court declared unlawful earlier this year, forcing the administration to address how refunds would be handled.
The court’s brief Thursday order gave no detailed reasoning, leaving the broader fight over judicial scrutiny of the refund process unresolved.
