Trump's lawyers had asked for a temporary stay while they appeal a lower-court ruling that granted Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.'s office access to Trump's tax returns. A lawyer for Vance's office had argued that further delays would only impede their investigation.

Jackson Hewitt Tax Expert Explains What Taxpayers Need to Know About Unemployment Benefits and
"According to the Department of Labor, more than 30 million Americans claimed unemployment benefits in June 2020 . With the COVID-19 outbreak impacting the economy, that number, unfortunately, might keep growing," Steber says during the YouTube video.
