Ginsburg Grants Temporary Stay of 2nd Circuit Ruling Requiring 'Prompt Compliance' With Subpoenas for Trump Bank Records
Ginsburg's order, which freezes in place for at least a week litigation over the subpoenas, came hours after a filing that argued the office of the presidency should be given special consideration in regard to subpoena requests, and said there was a "fair prospect" Tuesday's decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit would be overturned.

U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg late Friday granted an emergency order sought by President Donald Trump's attorneys to stay a Manhattan federal appeals court's ruling earlier this week requiring Deutsche Bank and Capital One's "prompt compliance" with congressional subpoenas for the president's financial records.
In a one-page order, Ginsburg stayed the effect of the decision, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, until 5 p.m. Eastern time on Dec. 13. She asked for responsive pleadings from the U.S. House of Representatives by 11 a.m. Eastern time on Dec. 11.
Ginsburg's order, which freezes the dispute in place for a week, came hours after William Consovoy, of Consovoy McCarthy, a personal lawyer for Trump, filed the emergency petition.
