Jan. 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday tossed out two cases that dealt with whether businesses owned by former President Donald Trump unfairly profited during his time in political office.
The cases, brought by a non-profit and the District of Columbia and state of Maryland were sent back to lower appeals courts to "dismiss as moot" because Trump lost the 2020 election and was no longer president.
