Nine days after Donald Trump announced he was about to be arrested over a hush-money payment to a porn star, the world still awaits what would be one of the most famous police mugshots in history.
The Republican former US president, who has never been shy about grabbing the limelight, sent newsrooms in the United States and beyond into a spin on 18 March when he announced he was three days away from being brought before a New York judge.
A grand jury - a panel of citizens with broad investigative powers that works with prosecutors - reconvened Monday in Manhattan, where they reportedly heard from the former publisher of the National Enquirer, a central player in the hush money payment scheme. Prosecutors say the checks were not properly registered, which might normally result in a misdemeanor charge of falsifying business records.
Criminal charges of any level would be uncharted territory in the United States, which has never indicted a sitting or former president. In an interview that aired Monday night with Fox News, Trump said the proceedings against him amount to election interference as he makes another shot for the White House."We are dealing with dishonest people and thugs and dealing with people, I believe, that hate our country," he added.
