The Supreme Court put a lower court decision granting House Democrats access to President Donald Trump’s personal and professional financial records on hold Monday night.

In effect, Monday’s stay means House Democrats cannot examine Trump’s finances before year’s end, and conceivably much longer. Neither the vote count nor the reasoning was disclosed, as is typical of orders of this nature.

The House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena in April to Mazars USA LLP, the longtime accounting firm for the president and several Trump business entities. Trump filed suit to block that subpoena, arguing it lacks a “legitimate legislative purpose.” By Trump’s telling, Congress is acting improperly  Mazars has indicated they will cooperate with the House’s request.

The ruling halts the lower court's ruling so that the parties can file the necessary papers relevant to Trump's appeal. After that, the USSC will decide whether to hear the appeal. If the court declines to hear it, the lower court ruling stands. That could happen before the end of the year. OTOH, if the USSC decides to hear the appeal, then their decision would probably be delayed into the middle of 2020 or later.
