JUST IN: The Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump for an alleged hush money payment made in 2016 is reportedly going on a month long hiatus.
The grand jury is going on a previously planned one month hiatus, per Politico, which would push the earliest date for Trump to be indicted to late April.The report suggests Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg is responsible for reconvening the grand jury during planned breaks if he wants them to meet earlier.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump lauded the grand jury for their inaction against him, after reports had previously said he would likely be indicted by the grand jury. "I have gained such respect for this grand jury, & perhaps even the grand jury system as a whole," Trump posted in all capitalization on Truth Social on Wednesday.
"The evidence is so overwhelming in my favor, & so ridiculously bad for the highly partisan & hateful district attorney, that the grand jury is saying, hold on, we are not a rubber stamp, which most grand juries are branded as being, we are not going to vote against a preponderance of evidence or against large numbers of legal scholars all saying there is no case here. Drop this sick witch hunt, now!"Prosecutors in Manhattan have been investigating Trump.
A recent poll found most adults do not want Trump as president again, with 56% saying they believe investigations into the former president are fair.
