An appeals court on Oct. 7 temporarily blocked a subpoena issued by the Manhattan District Attorney for President Donald Trump’s tax returns, a last-minute reprieve coming just before the deadline for the subpoena.

The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York granted an emergency stay to Trump, who had asked the court to block the subpoena.
