Trump tried to sue New York to block prosecutors from getting his tax returns, but he only got a one week delay.
According to Politico:
Just hours after President Donald Trump sued to block a subpoena seeking his tax returns, he secured a temporary reprieve.
Manhattans top prosecutor agreed Thursday to at least briefly suspend the subpoena, pending the results of a court hearing.
With the subpoena, District Attorney Cyrus Vance had been seeking eight years of Trumps personal and corporate tax returns as part of a wide-ranging investigation into hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign. The subpoena was initially filed late last month.

His tax returns are going to be turned over, and while they are a political timebomb, the Trump familys bigger problem is the potential criminal prosecution for filing false tax returns that is waiting for them in New York.
Trump could be the first president in history to go from the penthouse to the state pen. - PoliticusUSA

Once out of office, either through losing in 2020 or being impeached later, however, he's fair game.
Also, his children would be fair game NOW.
