Mr. Trump later claimed that Mr. Vance’s subpoena was “wildly overbroad” and issued in “bad faith,” largely mirroring similar subpoena issued by congressional Democrats. On Aug. 20, U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero, who had rejected Mr. Trump’s broad immunity argument last October, again refused to block the subpoena. “Justice requires an end to this controversy,” Marrero wrote, and which Mr. Vance repeated in his filing. It is unlikely that Mr. Trump’s tax returns will become public before the Nov. 3 election. Mr. Vance agreed not to enforce the subpoena until two days after the appeals court rules on Mr. Trump’s request for a stay.
