What’s going on with Trump’s tax returns and the Supreme Court? The Appeals Court ordered the tax returns released, but put the order on hold to give Trump time to appeal to the Supreme Court a second time. I’ve searched, but I haven’t found any information on whether or not the Supreme Court has accepted the appeal or not. What’s the current status of that case?

It looks like they haven’t even decided whether or not to issue a stay of the Appeals Court order yet:

How long can the Supreme Court keep a case in limbo without granting or denying cert?
