The grand jury hearing evidence about former President Trump's alleged role in the hush money case will not convene on Wednesday and will meet Thursday on other matters, sources familiar told ABC News.
Former publisher of the National Enquirer David Pecker testified Monday in front of the grand jury.Trump is defending himself after a series of social media posts attacking the investigation, which is still ongoing.The tabloid engaged in a "catch and kill" scheme, arranging a $150,000 payment for and then not publishing an allegation of an affair between Trump and Playboy model Karen McDougal.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg arrived at his office Monday with security after he got a death threat last week. Trump has been catching heat for his provocative social media posts warning of "potential death and destruction" if he's charged and calling Bragg an "animal" and a "degenerate psychopath.""People are pleading with the prosecutor, don't do it, don't do it. It's wrong. Even democrats, even people that traditionally aren't exactly my fans, they're saying don't do it. Because I didn't do anything wrong," Trump said.
"Not even a former president of the United States is above the law," New York Congressman Adriano Espaillat said. "So we know that this process will continue. We will not be intimidated, as a community, by threats. And we're here to watch our DA's back."
