A New York grand jury investigating whether fmr. Pres. Trump authorized the falsification of business records connected to a 'hush money' payment to Stormy Daniels will not meet on Wednesday.
By Graham Kates, Pat MiltonA New York grand jury investigating whether former President Donald Trump authorized the falsification of business records connected to a"hush money" payment to an adult film star will not meet Wednesday, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Earlier this month, the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg invited Trump to appear before the grand jury, but he declined. The grand jury has twice heard from two key witnesses in the probe: Trump's former"fixer" and lawyer Michael Cohen, who has encouraged the investigation and repeatedly met with prosecutors this year before testifying, and, on Monday this week, David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid.
As the grand jury has progressed, Trump has targeted Bragg and the investigation using heated and provocative rhetoric. On March 18, Trump incorrectly predicted in a social media post that he would be arrested the following Tuesday, and called for protests.
