NEW YORK—An appeals court has temporarily blocked the release of President Donald Trump’s tax returns to New York state investigators after a federal judge rejected Trump’s initial lawsuit to block a subpoena for them.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on Oct. 7 granted the delay requested by Trump’s lawyers until the appeals court could consider the issue expeditiously. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is seeking to enforce a subpoena for eight years’ worth of the president’s tax returns.
