News Wrap: High court rules for states’ online sales tax

In our news wrap Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled that states may legally force online shoppers to pay sales tax. The 5-to-4 decision overturned two long-standing precedents that allowed online retailers not to collect sales tax in many cases. Also, Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was charged with fraud for using public funds to pay for meals.
