It’s just been reported that the grand jury in Manhattan won’t be considering Trump’s case today.
According to Fox News, a source tells them that they won’t “hear testimony, deliberate or vote on the hush-money case against former President Donald Trump.”
Unlike yesterday, the grand jury will still meet today to consider other cases they’ve been hearing.
What this means for Trump is that any decision to indict likely won’t be made until next week because the grand jury doesn’t convene on Fridays.
I do wonder what all the delay is with this highest of profile cases. Trump said last week that he’d be arrested by Tuesday, but so far things are moving slower than expected.
I hope all of this means that the decision to indict is being reconsidered and it won’t happen.
Meanwhile, Bragg’s office has responded to the House and essentially told them to keep their federal nose out of his local affairs.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s response to the House GOP’s request for testimony/docs:
– Complying would “interfere with law enforcement”
– GOP letter is an “unlawful incursion into New York’s sovereignty”
– Congress is “not the appropriate branch” to review pending criminal case pic.twitter.com/FY3met23tR— Andrew Solender (@AndrewSolender) March 23, 2023
– Federal funding is “an insufficient basis to justify these unconstitutional requests”
