Manhattans top prosecutor on Monday agreed to delay enforcement of a subpoena for eight years of President Trumps tax returns.
Cyrus Vance Jr., the Democratic district attorney for Manhattan, had the legal right as of this Friday to enforce a New York grand jury subpoena to obtain a lengthy financial paper trail that includes Trumps corporate and personal tax records.
But Vance has agreed to temporarily shelve the subpoena against Trumps accounting firm, Mazars USA. The delay allows for another round of litigation, extending the nearly yearlong court battle over the subpoena in which Trump has lost every bout, including a landmark decision last month at the Supreme Court.
The deal between the Manhattan district attorneys office and Trumps lawyers comes after a federal district judge in New York last week denied Trumps latest bid to invalidate the subpoena.
Within hours, Trump's personal attorneys asked the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit to halt the judges ruling from taking effect while they mount an appeal. The appeals court denied Trump's request for an emergency stay.
The developments freed up Vances office to pursue Trumps taxes as early as this Friday, following a weeklong lag that Vance had previously agreed to. But instead of executing the subpoena for Trumps records, Vance agreed to delay things further.

Trump must have videos on this guy ...
Made him an offer...
My take on this is they know Trump is going to trounce Biden so why waste the bullet now. Use it post-election to gum up the works just like the last 4 years
Is his name on Epstein's plane log? Vance is a scumbag. Weinstein's lawyer, David Boies (of the 2000 hanging chad lawsuit for Gore), donated $10,000 to Vance's campaign coffers after Vance refused to charge Weinstein.
Maybe Mr. Vance has a crime wave biting at his ass. As Mark Simone said the city is blowing up with crime and he wants Trumps tax returns. Brilliant
This is very weird
Looks like they are preparing to dog Trump on this during his fourth term.
Unless there is no there there.
The Hill is a rag.
Marxist Rag
If “they” can do it to the President just think what they can do to the average subject. This is the annulment of the 4th amendment.
Hopefully when Trump wins and he doesn’t have to campaign anymore he can take the gloves off.
Its possible that they caused this big stink because they never thought they would get them..now that they can... Maybe afraid it will help trump get elected
Odd to say the least.
It's likely that there is no there, there.
I think the Democrats were happier just complaining about not getting the returns.
Trump hasn’t lost every bout. Yes they can maybe gain access to his taxes, but they have to provide sufficient cause, which might not be so easy.

Cyrus Vance as a Carter Secy of State was incompetent but not a domestic traitor. Cyrus Vance Jr. is a Soros-type legal whore and traitor.
Hoping that someone on the inside provides Trump et al with documents on Vance’s illegal dealings re campaign funding over the years.
I smell Soros all over him, like chocolate covers a peanut.
my take is that trumps tax records all ready were leaked to the prosecutor illegally through an operative in the irs and there is nothing there that will stay in the news cycle very long. the goal was to get his tax returns in October or November. getting them now wont do the damage that is wanted because anything that is embarrassing can be fixed by just critical thinking.
