Justices will not block New York grand jury subpoena for Trump’s records - SCOTUSblog

Better late than never, I suppose.  But still in limbo are the subpoenas by Congressional committees for the same records which have been tangled up by the remand order entered in the Trump v. Mazars case...a problem which Josh Chafetz has smartly identified as Judicial Aggrandizement in a forthcoming article in the Georgetown Law Journal.
Justices will not block New York grand jury subpoena for Trump’s records - SCOTUSblog
The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for a New York grand jury to obtain former President Donald Trump’s financial records. Over four months after Trump asked them to intervene, the justices turned down a request by the former president to stay a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit that permits Cyrus Vance, the district attorney for Manhattan, to enforce a subpoena to Mazars USA, the president’s longtime accountant. Monday’s order means that Vance and the grand jury likely will finally acquire eight years of Trump’s tax returns and other related records, although grand jury secrecy laws may preclude them from becoming public.
