NEW: Calling the Manhattan DA's subpoenas "illegally harassing," Trump's attorneys complain in a new memo that prosecutors have not ID-d the scope of the probe, other than citing news articles that may or may not be related.

Background courthousenews.com/trump-and-vanc…
Trump's attorneys: "Lobbing incendiary articles into the record may be sufficient to trigger a breathless news cycle, but such misdirection falls woefully short of what is needed for dismissal."

Read the 33-page memo here: documentcloud.org/documents/7032…
This is in response to DA Vance's recent memo about "public reports of possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization."

The footnotes of that report cited three articles, including two by @Fahrenthold.

Here's one: washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
Vance's full memo from earlier this month is here:

It also cites this WSJ article on Michael Cohen and the hush money scheme:

NEW:

A federal judge orders records unsealed in accuser Virginia Giuffre's litigation with Alan Dershowitz.

Those include letters by Giuffre, Dershowitz and Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner (plus the Wexner family's attorney John Zeiger).

cc: @CourthouseNews
(Note: Wexner stepped down earlier this year, and so it's "ex-CEO".)

Both Dershowitz and Giuffre want testimony from Wexner and Zeiger, the order notes.

Judge Preska sets a hearing in the case for a week from today: Aug. 17 at 2 p.m. EST.

Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/7032…
UPDATE: That correspondence is starting to be unsealed.

Here, Dershowitz's lawyers show the scope of their subpoenas to Les Wexner's legal team.

BREAKING: @NewYorkStateAG announces that she filed a lawsuit to dissolve the NRA entirely. @CourthouseNews
NYAG James says "top execs filed millions into their own pockets."

The 169-page lawsuit (!) is here: ag.ny.gov/sites/default/…
NYAG James: "“The central figure behind this scheme was none other than Wayne LaPierre… Mr. LaPierre exploited the organization for his and his family’s financial benefit.”

LaPierre visited the Bahamas five times on private jet at a cost of more than $500,000, she adds.
