Closing take
The pattern was already obvious by this point: Trump’s favorite defense was to delay, deny, and litigate, but that strategy kept producing new paper trails and new problems. On July 23, the Trump world’s biggest operational skill remained turning bad news into slower bad news. The legal calendar, unfortunately for him, did not care about the branding.

As of July 23, 2021, Donald Trump’s push to keep his tax and business records out of public and congressional view was still ongoing. A later Justice Department opinion on July 30 would change the federal posture, but that had not happened yet.
