34. The returns will have to be released when a final order that is not subject to stay
Thu Aug 20, 2020, 03:43 PM
Aug 2020

or further appeal is issued.

The Supreme Court remanded (sent back) this case to the district court with leave given to Trump to file new arguments for blocking th the release not based on the absolute immunity argument he had made and that the SCOTUS rejected. Pursuant to the SCOTUS order, he filed an amended complaint to block the returns from being released (remember, he isn't directly releasing them...his accountants are the ones in possession. The district court has rejected the new complaint and Trump can and will appeal that decision and seek a stay. If he doesn't get the stay, he'll appeal that decision. Eventually it will make its way back to the SCOTUS.
