Trump Wins Another Delay in Turning Over Tax Returns
Trump on Tuesday won another delay in the long-running legal battle over whether he must turn over eight years of tax returns to the Manhattan district attorneys office, which subpoenaed them a year ago in a criminal investigation focused on Mr. Trump, his business and his associates.
In a brief order, a federal appeals court in New York said it would temporarily block a grand jury subpoena issued by the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a Democrat, while it considers Mr. Trumps arguments that the request was wildly overbroad and politically motivated.
The ruling is the latest development in the presidents aggressive effort to keep his tax returns and other financial records out of the hands of prosecutors, Congress and others a dispute that has reached the United States Supreme Court once and is likely to end up there again.
With the election looming, the ruling means that as a practical matter prosecutors, even if they are ultimately successful, will not receive Mr. Trumps records for at least another month, and perhaps longer if the president seeks a review in the Supreme Court.
