Supreme Court Paves Way For N.Y. Grand Jury To Get Trump Financial Records

Updated at 10:10 a.m. ET

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a one-sentence unsigned order, declined former President Donald Trump’s request to further delay the enforcement of a subpoena from the Manhattan district attorney for Trump’s financial records. Monday’s order paves the way for a New York grand jury to obtain the records and review them.

The high court’s decision marks a major setback for Trump, who for years has fought to shield his finances and business practices from scrutiny. It all but clears the way for District Attorney Cyrus Vance to enforce his subpoena for the former president’s financial documents.
