Court temporarily blocks New York prosecutor from obtaining Trump tax returns

A federal appeals court on Tuesday temporarily blocked the Manhattan district attorney from getting access to President Donald Trump's tax returns.

A three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York put a hold on a lower court ruling, which said District Attorney Cyrus Vance could get the records immediately. The appeals court granted the stay so it can consider Trump's argument that a subpoena for the documents is overbroad and was issued in bad faith.
