Trump Wins Delay in Handover of Tax Returns to Manhattan Prosecutor

Reuters

   NEW YORK - A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday granted President Donald
   Trump's request to delay Manhattan's district attorney from accessing
   his tax returns in connection with a criminal probe of his business
   practices.

   The unsigned order by a panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
   in Manhattan was a victory for the president in his yearlong quest to
   block District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. from enforcing a grand jury
   subpoena for eight years of personal and corporate returns.

   Trump has been challenging an Aug. 20 decision by U.S. District Judge
   Victor Marrero to let Vance obtain the returns from the president's
   longtime accounting firm Mazars USA.
