This is how I read it:

"The majority rejected the [snip] claims of absolute immunity from criminal investigative process and affirms the ability of the Manhattan DA to subpoena [snip] financial records...."

PDJT has nothing to fear but Biden, others? This will be interesting.

SCOTUS actually laid out a path for the President and they affirmed the appeals court and remanded this back to the district court. So Vance doesn't get the docs yet...

TRUMP v. VANCE
Opinion of the Court
We affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.

footnotes from page 26\27 of the ruling.

6The daylight between our opinion and JUSTICE THOMAS’s “dissent” is not as great as that label might suggest. Post, at 12. We agree that Presidents are neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas nor insulated by a heightened need standard. Post, at 6, 11, n. 3. We agree that Presidents may challenge specific subpoenas as impeding their Article II functions. Post, at 6–7. And, although we affirm while JUSTICE THOMAS would vacate, we agree that this case will be remanded to the District Court. Post, at 12.
