The district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., declined to say on Wednesday if his office had interviewed Canosa. Canosa said in her lawsuit that Weinstein insisted on meeting her in “isolated environments for business purposes,” including in hotel rooms in Hungary and Malaysia. Vance had declined to press charges against Weinstein, despite what the police said was evidence of a misdemeanor sexual assault against Ambra Battilana, a 22-year-old model from Italy. The Manhattan district attorney’s office is investigating at least two other assault allegations against Weinstein, including that he twice raped actress Paz de la Huerta in 2010. In Cuomo’s request to Schneiderman, he asked that the review of Battilana’s case not interfere with those open investigations.
