The powerful gun lobby asked a New York state judge Friday to let it in the meeting, saying it would be"severely prejudiced" if privileged information is divulged. The NRA cited grounds why some information could be kept from investigators, including attorney client privilege, work-product rules and other unspecified privileges.

The U.S. Senate Finance Committee also has launched an investigation into the NRA's operations.The NRA later sued North, trying to block his effort to be reimbursed for legal expenses related to investigations and lawsuits involving the NRA.
