Now: The judge handling Trump's effort to block House Dems from getting his NY tax returns has accepted NY's proposal for how to proceed – NY agreed to delay acting on any request by Dems for the docs while the judge considers NY's motion to dismiss documentcloud.org/documents/6232… 
This option gave the judge a way to make sure the case doesn't become moot overnight (i.e. if Dems suddenly asked for and got Trump's state tax returns from NY overnight) without imposing any sort of order on Congress, which Congress argued the judge couldn't do
What this means in practice: The House Ways and Means Committee can make the request to NY for Trump's state tax returns under the new NY law that Trump is challenging, but NY won't act on it until the judge rules on NY's jurisdiction-based challenge to the case
