But the delay could extend for months if the justices decide they need to hear arguments and issue a written opinion. Earlier Monday, the House said it would agree to a brief halt for the orderly filing of legal briefs, while opposing any lengthy delay. Last week, Trump made an emergency appeal to ask the Supreme Court to block the enforcement of a subpoena issued by a House committee to Trump’s accountants. The justices next meet in private on Friday and could discuss what to do with the House subpoena.
