Manhattan Grand Jury Investigating Trump in Stormy Daniels “Hush Money” Probe Sent To Month-Long Break

The Manhattan grand jury examining Donald Trump‘s role in a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels isn’t expected to hear evidence for another month, giving a break.

Politico reports, “The break would push any indictment of the former president to late April at the earliest, although it is possible that the grand jury’s schedule could change. In recent weeks, the Manhattan district attorney’s office hasn’t convened the panel on certain days. But it is District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prerogative to ask the grand jury to reconvene if prosecutors want the panel to meet during previously planned breaks.”

The grand jury heard the testimony on Monday, with the following two weeks expected to be a hiatus. There is no set deadline for Trump’s indictment, though there were speculations in the past weeks that a decision would be made soon.

Prosecutors are investigating “Trump’s alleged role in a $130,000 payment that was made to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels, who said she had an affair with the former president.” Trump denies the affair and any wrongdoing with the payment.
