Both sides then wrote to the justices agreeing that the Supreme Court should toss it as moot.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In a brief, unsigned order Monday, the justices vacated the lower ruling and sent it back with instructions to dismiss the case. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the order, saying she would\u2019ve instead used a different procedural mechanism to toss the case.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel documents had largely fallen out of the dispute as the lawmakers obtained most of them through other means.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the case was set to weigh how the minority party in Congress can scrutinize a presidential administration using a federal law known as the \u201cSeven Member Rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department had asked the justices to declare that the Democrats could not sue in court to enforce the rule, which allows any seven members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability or any five members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee to ask for information within their purview from executive agencies.<\/p>\n<p>But after Democrats dismissed the case, the Justice Department said the Supreme Court should step away from hearing its appeal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree weeks after the Court granted review, respondents filed a notice of voluntary dismissal in district court,\u201d the Justice Department wrote to the justices. \u201cAlthough that notice does not of its own force terminate proceedings in this Court, respondents\u2019 abandonment of their claims does render this case moot.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Democrats, who had urged the Supreme Court to not get involved in the case in the first place, agreed that the court should dispose of the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere, respondents do not appear to have formally withdrawn their Section 2954 request or explicitly renounced any attempt to seek the disputed documents in the future,\u201d they wrote. \u201cBut under the circumstances, their notice in the district court and letter to this Court should be regarded as a definitive abandonment of their claims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats for years had sought financial records related to Trump\u2019s hotel, which was located on federal property a few blocks from the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Services Administration (GSA) had leased the building, the Old Post Office Pavilion, to Trump to convert into a luxury hotel.
