Trump’s Manhattan Indictment May Not Come Until After April as Grand Jury Heads Toward a Break

If you are waiting on an indictment for former President Donald Trump, you may want to direct your attention elsewhere. A source details to CNN the Manhattan grand jury that is hearing Trump’s hush money case is scheduled to go on break beginning April 5.

The break is believed to last through most, if not all, of April. Trump originally stated he would be indicted and arrested last week.

The cause for the break includes religious holidays, school spring breaks and more. The break comes at a time the investigation seemingly was getting ready to wrap up.

Trump is being investigated for hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels for an affair. The funds are believed to be from campaign money.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, has received a threatening letter containing an unidentified white powder. The threat was discovered after former President Donald Trump hinted at “death and destruction” should Bragg bring charges against him. Bragg is investigating a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels by Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen shortly before the 2016 presidential election.

“ALVIN: I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!” said the typewritten note in a letter contained in an envelope addressed to Bragg that appeared to be mailed from Orlando, Florida. However, according to the New York Police Department, the white powder was non-hazardous. 

Bragg sent an email to staffers Friday afternoon indicating that the powder was not hazardous. Bragg thanked staffers for their “strength and professionalism” in the face of “distressing disruptions,” including threatening emails and calls.

A DA spokeswoman said, “The D.A. has informed the office that it was immediately contained and that the NYPD Emergency Service Unit and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection determined there was no dangerous substance.”

DA Bragg has received several hundred threats in recent weeks, with several dozen of those threats being considered to harm Bragg seriously. On Friday morning, after 1 a.m., Trump suggested Bragg was “a degenerate psychopath that truly hates the USA” as he condemned the investigation and warned of the potential of violence if he is charged. Trump predicted last weekend that he would be arrested Tuesday in Bragg’s investigation, but that did not happen.

According to a source, the former president asked people to come up with a plan for how to deal with Bragg and how the Department of Justice could respond to Bragg’s “illegal” investigation of the president.

Donald Trump Arrest Coming Next Week, Former POTUS Claims While Encouraging Protests

by

Most of his efforts have been put towards his third presidential run recently. However, Donald Trump took some time on Saturday (March 18) morning to let Truth Social users know that he foresees an orange jumpsuit in his future. As the Manhattan District Attorney continues to investigate the politician, they’re reportedly nearing an indictment. This news has him expecting an arrest next week. In a message this morning, the former POTUS did his part to bash those coming after him before encouraging readers to “protest” should his vision come true.

“NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD AND FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK,” Trump wrote in what may be the longest run-on sentence ever.

Donald Trump Prepares for Possible Arrest

“PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” his message ended, encouraging his supporters to stand up and defend his honour. As CNN reports, John Miller revealed recently that city, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in New York City have been markedly holding regular meetings to prepare for Trump’s possible indictment. The investigation into The Apprentice alum has been going on for years. It specifically looks into whether he passed hush money along to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

It’s worth noting that, though the New York native has an extensive history of being in court for civil matters. This could be his first criminal charge. It may potentially heavily alter the public’s perception of him ahead of the 2024 election. The embattled star previously announced his candidacy last year. Trump’s post didn’t explicitly explain why he believes he’ll be arrested. Still, sources close to the matter say he believes an indictment “would help him politically.”

A spokesperson for the 76-year-old confirmed that he hasn’t received official notice from the Manhattan DA. His message today was simply “rightfully highlighting his innocence.” Do you think that Donald Trump will be taken into custody next week? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for any updates on the ongoing investigation.

Donald Trump & Stormy Daniels: Manhattan DA Launches Grand Jury Probe Regarding Hush Money

by

As he gears up for this third-ever presidential run, Donald Trump is facing no shortage of legal woes. Over the past few years, the reality TV star has been caught up in scandal after scandal. From classified documents being found at his Mar-a-Lago residence to his past friendship with the late Jeffrey Epstein, the drama never ends.

On Monday (January 30), a report from the New York Times broke the news that things for the politician are looking bleaker. Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office are presenting evidence to a recently put-together jury.

The investigation is regarding the “hush money” that Trump previously gave to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Several years ago, the 76-year-old wanted his former lover to keep quiet about their extramarital affairs prior to the 2016 election.

According to today’s breaking news, a witness who helped arrange the controversial monetary agreement was seen in New York today. The building he entered is the same one that the grand jury has been meeting in.

Additionally, Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, sat with prosecutors in recent weeks. As The Independent notes, the attorney was previously personally responsible for delivering Daniels her payments. He was later indicted on federal charges affiliated with the scheme.

Cohen plead guilty and spent time in federal prison. However, he was later released to home confinement as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I participated in this conduct, which on my part took place in Manhattan, for the principal purpose of influencing the election” for president in 2016,” Trump’s co-conspirator said at the time.

The city’s DA, Alvin Bragg, is presently laying the groundwork to seek an indictment for Trump. A decision regarding the twice-impeached public figure’s future is said to be coming “soon.”

Potential criminal charges will likely depend on whether the father of five falsified business records to disguise payments to Cohen as compensation for services.

Elsewhere, Trump’s name has been coming up a lot in connection with Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal. The New Yorker has been openly mocking his fellow politician on his Truth social platform, despite having committed the same troubling acts himself.
