Tax returns
A federal judge decided Monday that the President can't sue New York state officials in DC Court to stop the release of his tax returns to Congress.

Carter hospitalized
Former President Jimmy Carter was admitted to Atlanta's Emory University Hospital last night so that he can have a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain. The Carter Center posted a statement on Twitter that he will have surgery this morning. The pressure was caused by bleeding from recent falls. Carter, the 39th US President, turned 95 last month.
DACA hearing

President Trump called in 2017 for DACA to be undone. The decision will likely come down in June.
