The Manhattan district attorney’s office has agreed to delay the enforcement of a subpoena for President Donald Trump’s tax returns and financial documents.

In a letter sent to Trump’s legal team on Aug. 22, the office of New York County District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said the district attorney had agreed to temporarily delay the enforcement of his subpoena until after the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals rules on Trump’s request to hold a lower’s court decision to dismiss his case while the appeal plays out in court.
