BREAKING UPDATE: Manhattan grand jury expected to meet today but NOT about Trump, three sources familiar with matter tell Jonathan4NY
All eyes have been on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg regarding a potential Donald Trump indictment; the grand jury that has been hearing that case is expected to meet Thursday, but sources say they aren't expected to talk about alleged hush money
A day ago, the grand jury was told to stay home. They last heard testimony from Trump ally Robert Costello Monday, where he sought to discredit Michael Cohen If the Manhattan grand jury were to indict Trump, it would mark the first criminal charges against a former or sitting U.S. president. Any charges, or conviction, though, wouldn't ban him from runningagainst former President Donald Trump is expected to meet Thursday after an unexpected, and still unexplained, day off -- but it doesn't appear, at this point, they will hear anything related to the alleged hush money case, three sources familiar with the matter say.
The panel had been scheduled to meet Wednesday afternoon regarding the Trump case but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told them to stay home and be on standby for a potential hearing the next day, sources said. The reason for the delay remains unclear, including whether it may be related to a potential witness or new evidence.
Also unclear: What the grand jury will discuss Thursday if not Trump, who announced to the globe nearly a full week ago that he expected to be arrested in Manhattan earlier this week. Sources say the situation remains fluid, but as of 10 a.m. Thursday, it was looking like the grand jury might not meet on Trump matters until Monday at the earliest.Bragg's office declined to comment, saying it couldn't speak on grand jury matters.
