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. SUPREME COURT PUNTS, DENIES TRUMP IMMUNITY BUT BLOCKS HOUSE DEMS FROM TAX DOCSThe appeals court said it would hold a hearing on the request for a delay, but not until Sept. 1. The office and Trump's lawyers didn't immediately comment on what the appeals court ruling might mean for that timeframe. The Supreme Court ruled last month that the presidency in itself doesn't shield Trump from Vance's investigation.
