With a temporary stay in place and Trump expecting a return to the Supreme Court, it's unlikely that the case will be resolved or any tax returns will be turned over before the November election. Trump's lawyers argued that a stay keeping the tax returns under wraps will protect him from irreparable harm such as leaks from secret grand jury proceedings while they appeal a lower-court ruling two weeks ago that granted Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.'s office access to Trump's tax returns. At that stage, Trump's lawyers argued that the subpoena was issued in bad faith, overly broad, might have been politically motivated and amounted to harassment. Were not allowed to make that public, which is what has led to his speculation about the grand jury scope. Trump is the only modern president who has refused to release his tax returns.
