What happened
The Supreme Court is reviewing a privacy law application for Paramount. Separately, lawyers for Democratic candidates urged the Supreme Court to deny requests from the Federal Communications Commission and two Republican groups to block a ruling that would extend favorable advertising rates to political parties and joint fundraising committees. President Donald Trump also asked the Supreme Court to allow his dismissed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton to proceed.
