NYC Mayor Eric Adams says the city is 'monitoring' social media ahead of a possible Trump indictment 'The NYPD is doing their normal role of making sure there’s no inappropriate actions in the city, and we’re confident we’re going to be able to do that.'
WASHINGTON -Former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to be indicted by a grand jury late Monday or on Wednesday in a hush payments case involving a porn star, Politico reported on Monday, citing three unidentified people involved in the deliberations.
A case would be a historic first as no current or former U.S. president has ever been criminally charged. Trump is currently seeking the Republican nomination to run again in 2024. Trump, whose supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn his 2020 election defeat, said Saturday that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday and called for protests. He said "illegal leaks" indicated an arrest on Tuesday, but provided no evidence, and his spokesman said Trump had not been notified of any impending arrest.
Robert Costello has been asked to appear before the grand jury at the request of Trump's lawyers because he may have information that calls into question events as described by Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, the source said.
