U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily blocked a subpoena from a House panel for President Donald Trump’s financial records while the Supreme Court considers a request for a longer delay.
The administrative stay, which gave no indication how Roberts or the court might ultimately rule, came hours after the House told the justices it would accept a delay until the end of the month. The order from Roberts applies until either he or the court acts again.
