Hunter Biden subpoena against Attorney General relates to lawsuit against IRS over alleged privacy rights violation; Ivanka Trump's attorney plans to appeal subpoena for her testimony in Trump family's ongoing civil fraud trial; ACLU targets Supreme Court for appeal against Tennessee law prohibiting medical care for transgender youth.
- Hunter Biden has served a subpoena to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland as part of his lawsuit against the IRS, accusing the federal tax agency of violating his privacy rights by disclosing tax information. This is part of an ongoing lawsuit filed in mid-September, with the tax information said to not have been appropriately secured.
- Ivanka Trump's attorney plans to appeal an order that mandates her testimony in the ongoing civil fraud trial involving her and her brothers, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Ivanka was initially named as a defendant but managed to dismiss claims against her, arguing that her dismissal and relocation to Florida should prevent her from being forced to testify.
- Donald Trump Jr., the first of the former President's children to testify in the civil fraud case, has arrived in court. He expected to discuss his role as executive vice president of the Trump Organization as part of the investigation.
- The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) plans to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Tennessee law that prohibits medical care for transgender individuals below the age of 18. Earlier attempts to block this law by citing violations of the 14th Amendment's due process clause have been rejected by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
- In a rather bizarre incident unrelated to politics, a Florida Man dressed as a banana attempted to escape police arrest after he was caught urinating in public. Kyle Mortimer, the man in question, was eventually apprehended and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
