(CNN) The US Supreme Court declined to expedite paperwork to allow House Democrats to more quickly continue the process of seeking President Donald Trump's financial documents. Earlier this month the court blocked Congress from getting the President's records for now , sending the controversial cases back down to the lower court for further review. However, the Supreme Court's formal judgments are generally not issued for 25 days, meaning Democrats would not be able to go back to court until early August. The House asked the Supreme Court to issue the paperwork immediately. Justice Sonia Sotomayor indicated she would have agreed to the request.
