From the transcript
We know, as the chairman has pointed out, that you have faced a series of threatening attempts, you and your colleagues— assassination attempts to online cybersecurity threats. And we know that the number of threats are increasing each year. And it is a substantial justification for budget increases to protect the court and protect the Constitution. So I look forward from hearing from both of you about the— these issues and the needs that you have to protect yourself and your colleagues. Uh, in regard to these threats, the court created its own residential security operation, and Congress responded to the request with a $28 million appropriation, but weeks after that CR was signed, the court began privately lobbying for another $30 million.
