The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday delivered another blow to Donald Trump s efforts to block the enforcement of a subpoena for his accounting firm to turn over eight years of the ex-president s tax returns and other financial documents to a grand jury convened by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. while Trump was still in office.
Vance welcomed the high court s unsigned, one-sentence order in a short statement: The work continues.
