Serious fuckup
Donald Trump's fight over Manhattan prosecutors' subpoena for his financial records was still ongoing on March 4, 2021, but the key Supreme Court rulings were already in place. The Court had rejected his broad constitutional challenge in Trump v. Vance on July 9, 2020, and it denied his stay application on February 22, 2021. Nothing new happened in the Supreme Court on March 4; the case had already moved into enforcement and follow-on litigation.
