Gregg Jarrett predicts Supreme Court would side with Trump in Harvard feud

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the latest on the legal battle between the Trump administration and Harvard University over a visa ban for foreign students. 

The Supreme Court on Monday granted a faith-based pregnancy center's request to review its case against the New Jersey attorney general, alleging the state violated its free speech rights.

The case was brought by First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, a Christian nonprofit that provides services to women facing unplanned pregnancies.

The nonprofit was subpoenaed by New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, who sought records over allegations the pregnancy center might be misleading women about offering abortion services.

The Christian-based center challenged the subpoena in federal court, asserting it infringed upon its First Amendment rights by potentially chilling its free speech. 

The Supreme Court will consider whether New Jersey's investigatory demand must first be adjudicated in state court.
