Trump Tax Returns Case Moves At Light Speed As Supreme Court Issues Formal Ruling
From the article:
The US Supreme Court granted the Manhattan district attorney’s request to immediately issue its judgment in the case over President Donald Trump’s tax returns, paving the way for new challenges to a grand jury subpoena to be handled by a lower court judge.
The district attorney asked for that time to be cut short, and Trump’s attorney agreed. Friday, Chief Justice John Roberts said the request is granted.
It usually takes 25 days for a judgment to formally issued by the Supreme Court. The speed-up means that the case is still on an accelerated timeline. Trump only has a month to add new challenges to the subpoena from the Manhattan DA.

It is important to note, per the bolded section, that this does not mean an immediate release of Trump's returns, it simply accelerates the timetable.
