Judge Mehta issued his decision on the Mazars subpoena in a little more than a week, https://www.lawfareblog.com/judge-mehtas-ruling-mazars-case-swift-victory-congress - and Judge Ramos issued his decision in the Deutsche Bank matter on the same day. There are procedures for expedited hearings. Even the Supreme Court can move fast. In United States v. Nixon, Nixon was ordered in April of 1974 to turn over the tapes by May 31 but he appealed the decision; oral arguments were held on July 8, and the decision came out on July 24. I think the Trump cases will be expedited as well.
