Manhattan grand jury is NOT expected to hear Trump’s case for the rest of the week; Former President’s Attorney Responds To Delays, Saying ‘Everyone Says Case Shouldn’t Be Brought’
The Manhattan grand jury investigating a $130,000 hush money payment by former President Donald Trump to porn actress Stormy Daniels to keep her from going public is not expected to hear evidence for the rest of the week, sources say .
Following news of the delay, Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, is hoping Manhattan prosecutors will reconsider the possible charges.
“All, left to right, center, say this case should not be brought. It shouldn’t because there is absolutely no crime. The law makes that clear.”
“And not for the first time in the history of this country you are indicting a president in a case that will never make it to the finish line,” Tacopina told exclusively.

“I am confident that the prosecutor’s office is aware of this and that they will not seek to impeach President Trump simply because prosecutor Bragg’s financiers are screaming for his scalp. It would be the greatest form of injustice and would destroy the rule of law.”
The grand jury convened Monday and heard testimony from David Pecker, a longtime Trump friend and former chief executive officer of The National Enquirer’s parent company — the first time the jury on the Trump case has convened in a week.
There was no word yet on when the panel might vote on a possible indictment against the former president, and a possible criminal complaint will not be voted on until next week at the earliest.
