Bloomberg Law reports:
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily blocked a subpoena from a House panel for President Donald Trump’s financial records while the justices consider a request for a longer delay. The administrative stay comes after the House said in a letter it would accept a delay until the end of the month. The order from Roberts applies until either he or the court acts again. Roberts told the House to file a response by Thursday to Trump’s request for the longer delay.
PEOPLE. Please understand what just happened in the Supreme Court.
The court *TEMPORARILY* stayed the subpoena to obtain Trump’s taxes pending briefing of the issues DUE THURSDAY.
We did not “get screwed” as some are posting.
This is a temporary stay pending briefs.

Also, please note the Second Circuit did the same thing and then ruled against the President.
It pays to understand the legal nuances.
