No way Trump recovers anything. At best for Trump is that SCOTUS eventually decides every crime Trump committed while in office was an "official duty". Trump walks away with no past or further consequences for criminal actions during his term. The subpoena, however, at the time it was issued was valid and had to be complied with.
