Trump's new lawsuit against the Ways and Means Committee and NY is about his state tax documents, challenging a NY law that would allow disclosure of his state tax returns (the TRUST Act) assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6211…
Ways and Means hasn't actually invoked the NY law at issue yet — Trump's lawsuit combines a broad constitutional challenge to the TRUST Act with a preemptive effort to block the committee from trying to use it
Trump's lawsuit seeking to block the Ways and Means Committee from getting his NY state tax returns has been assigned to Judge Trevor McFadden after Trump's lawyer noticed it as related to the committee's pending lawsuit against the IRS (see: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…)

In the fight over unsealing Mueller grand jury materials, there's been a lot of references to McKeever, a recent DC Circuit opinion that took a narrow approach to the exceptions to grand jury secrecy. Today, a judge issued an opinion showing how McKeever can work against the govt
Here's the opinion from Chief Judge Beryl Howell: dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/file…

Most info about the case is redacted, but it involves a criminal investigation where the target is also involved in a civil case. The grand jury issued a subpoena for sealed filings in the civil case
In the civil case, there's a protective order that requires the plaintiffs to notify the target if any info is disclosed. But prosecutors don't want the target to know about the grand jury subpoena, and asked the court for an order barring the target from being notified

NEW: How Donald Trump has used a secretive, private justice system – arbitration – to try to move lawsuits and potentially damaging or embarrassing claims out of the public eye buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Trump over the years has turned to a secretive, private justice system — arbitration — to try to keep claims out of court brought by Stormy Daniels, former White House and 2016 campaign staffers, investors in his businesses, and employees of his companies buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Arbitration has a long history — at its core, it's about two parties deciding to settle a dispute privately. Trump's use of arbitration underscores broader complaints that the current state of the system puts consumers and employees at a big disadvantage buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Speaker Pelosi said in a letter that House Judiciary Chair Nadler will file a lawsuit today (nothing on the docket yet) to enforce a subpoena for former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify about the Russia probe — Nadler prev. said he'd do this: reuters.com/article/us-usa…
As announced by Pelosi earlier today, the House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit in DC federal court seeking to enforce a subpoena for testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn related to Mueller's investigation.

Complaint: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6247…
The House Judiciary Committee designated the case today as "related" to the petition that Dems filed for Mueller's grand jury materials, so it's been assigned to the judge already handling that, Chief Judge Beryl Howell

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@wdunlap “Attorneys for #Epstein say he obtained a foreign #passport under an alias in 1980s to defend himself from potential kidnappers while traveling in the Middle East.

worried about perils he faced traveling there as ‘an affluent member of the Jewish faith’”

Let’s review the week: House Judiciary Comm authorizes subpoena for #MuellerReport. House Ways & Means Comm requests 6 yrs. of DJT’s tax returns. House Oversight Comm looks at 25 security clearances (including Javanka’s) that shouldn’t have been given. Team Mueller is pissed.
They say they had summaries Barr omitted from his press release. Donald lies about his father being born in Germany, that windmills cause cancer, and that his wall is underway. Let me say this: defect, digress, divert, distract, distort, but in the end, the truth will emerge.
Oh and to my original post in this thread, Oversight is finally happening as a result of our bluewaving in a new House. We absolutely have to do the same next year for the Senate, as well as the White House. We are our own superheroes. We create the Blue Tsunami. We know the way.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
