New—

An indictment will be UNSEALED against Andrey Muraviev, the Russian tycoon whose money Lev Parnas and his co-defendants were convicted of steering into U.S. elections.

That indictment isn't public yet.

Background:

The screenshot is the full document, which can be accessed here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Prosecutors say that the latest indictment doesn't say anything new against the previously charged defendants, who now stand convicted.

It contains new charges "only as to Muraviev," who prosecutors say has not yet been arrested.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney says of "oligarch" Muraviev:

"He attempted to corrupt our political system to advance his business interests." justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/r…

Closing arguments will begin shortly in the federal case against Ahmaud Arbery's convicted murderers. Unlike in the state case, prosecutors ask a jury to find that they committed their crimes "because of Arbery's race and color."

ICYMI, opening statements lawandcrime.com/live-trials/li…
The first line by Christopher Perras, from the DOJ Civil Rights Division:

"There's a big difference between being vigilant and being a vigilante."
Perras says Arbery's killers weren't passionate about trespassing: "Travis McMichael even ripped down a 'No Trespassing' sign."

"This wasn't about trespassing. It wasn't about neighborhood crime. It was about race. Racial assumptions. Racial resentment and racial anger."

"Judge Refuses to Quash Subpoenas and Depositions for Donald Trump and His Children: It Would Be a 'Blatant Dereliction of Duty' Not to Investigate"

DEVELOPING story, with the 8-page ruling inside:
lawandcrime.com/high-profile/j… via @lawcrimene
This is an absolutely blistering ruling.

Some highlights once I give the story an update. In the meanwhile, give the order inside the story a read.
Earlier this morning, Trump's lawyers argued that the civil probe was essentially a way to extract information without having to offer immunity that a grand jury would afford in a criminal investigation.

Engoron: "This argument completely misses the mark."

New York AG @TishJames faces off this morning against Trump's lawyers on a motion to compel the Trump family, in the first hearing since the big Mazars news.

Follow our coverage, @LawCrimeNews.
Kevin Wallace is arguing for @NewYorkStateAG.

Alina Habba and Ronald Fischetti are arguing for Donald Trump.

Hon. Engoran presides.
Alan Futerfas is up for Eric Trump.

He says the motion to compel is "really unprecedented in the research that we could find given the facts of this case," calling it a "case of first impression."

He claims it raises "strong issues" about the attorney general.

First line of a prosecutor's opening statement in the federal trial against Ahmaud Arbery's killers:

"I want to talk to you all about what turned out to be the last day of Ahmaud Arbery's life."

Background, @Lawcrimenews: lawandcrime.com/live-trials/li…
AUSA on why the McMichaels and Bryan:

The short answer, you'll learn, is that all three defendants made decisions about Ahmaud because of the color of his skin.
AUSA notes that, though this is commonly described as a federal "hate crime" trial, the charge "does not require proof of hate."

"It requires that the defendant acted because of race."

Good morning from New York.

Sarah Palin's testimony continues in her lawsuit against the New York Times.

I'm covering the proceedings for @LawCrimeNews.
During pre-trial arguments, the NYT's lawyer argues that someone known for saying "Don’t retreat, reload" will have a hard time arguing that she sustained emotional damage in the face of criticism about her gun rhetoric.
The NYT wants to grill Palin on rhetoric like that to establish that Palin "plays in the public field" and "uses hyperbole" to make her points.

Judge Rakoff says he'll allow it.
