How big will this be?
that city, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in New York have discussed contingency plans in the case of an arrest. But there is at least one more witness who is expected to testify before the grand jury in this case, according to the
Sources told the paper that even if an indictment did come down Monday, logistics would likely delay an arrest beyond Tuesday., host Mary Harris spoke with Slate’s own Dahlia Lithwick to unpack the mystery of how a years-old payment to a porn star might lead to the first-ever criminal prosecution of a former president.Mary Harris: It’s been a long time since most of us heard the name Stormy Daniels or really thought about the elements of this case.
