BREAKING:

A federal judge DISMISSES President Trump's second attempt to block Manhattan DA Vance's probe and UPHOLDS the prosecutor's subpoena.

Background, @CourthouseNews courthousenews.com/trump-and-vanc… Image
The judge calls Team Trump's litigation posture "as unprecedented and far-reaching as it is perilous to the rule of law and other bedrock constitutional principles on which this country was founded and by which it continues to be governed." Image
Judge Marrero wrote that Trump is trying to run out the clock and seek the same "absolute immunity" SCOTUS denied through the "back door."

"To me, President Erdogan was very good," Trump tells Pastor Andrew Brunson, the man whom the Turkish government held on bogus espionage charges in an example of Turkey's "hostage diplomacy."
Context:

Ballard Partners, run by a man described by Politico as "The Most Powerful Lobbyist in Trump's Washington," represented Turkey's position during the negotiations.

ICYMI: Senator @RonWyden wants John Bolton to tell him about his memoir's comments about “Trump’s penchant to, in effect, do personal favors for dictators he liked,” including attempts to stifle a money laundering case tied to Erdogan.

This broke today.

A hearing in the unusual judge-appointed prosecution of Steven Donziger is about to begin.

After helping his clients win a more than $9 billion verdict against Chevron in Ecuador, Donziger faced a blistering counterattack.

Recently, he was disbarred:

Judge Preska started the hearing now.

Recently, Donziger's counsel successfully sought billing records from the private law firm appointed to prosecute him for offenses the U.S. Attorney's office declined to charge.

We got an early look last month. courthousenews.com/quarter-millio…
Lead prosecutor Rita Glavin, a partner at the private law firm Seward & Kissel, has called for a hearing over whether Donziger's attorneys Richard Friedman and Zoe Littlepage should be disqualified.

They were also Donziger's lawyers in Chevron's countersuit against him.

A federal judge DENIES Trump's motion to stay his ruling allowing Manhattan DA Vance to subpoena his financial records, including his tax returns.

Judge Marrero's also concerned about "further delay on the grand jury’s" probe.

Background, @CourthouseNews courthousenews.com/judge-green-li…
"The court notes that its views remain unchanged with respect to the president’s likelihood of success on the merits... particularly given the concerns ... regarding the effect of further delay on the grand jury’s investigation."

Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/7041…
Note: Trump has asked for an identical stay from the Second Circuit and SCOTUS.

So this, for them, does not end the matter.
