WATCH LIVE: Supreme Court justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett testify to Congress

Supreme Court Associate Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett appeared before Congress on Tuesday for rare testimony. The justices testified before the House appropriations subcommittee on financial services and general government during a budget hearing. This appearance, the first in seven years, was conducted to request additional security funding from lawmakers. The request for an increased security budget follows a documented rise in security threats directed toward the Supreme Court and its members.
