Appeals court won't step in for now on Trump tax records A federal appeals court said Friday it wouldn’t step in right away to delay New York prosecutors’ effort to get President Donald Trump’s tax recordsNEW YORK -- A federal appeals court said Friday it wouldn't step in right away to delay New York prosecutors’ effort to get President Donald Trump's tax records, potentially leaving the Supreme Court as his most promising option to block prosecutors' subpoena. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump’s request to immediately put Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.’s subpoena on hold while Trump appeals to try to get it invalidated. The appeals court said it would hold a hearing on the request for a delay, but not until Sept. 1. The DA’s office declined to comment on what the appeals court ruling might mean for that time frame. Even if the tax records ultimately are subpoenaed, they would be part of a confidential grand jury investigation and not automatically made public.
