Manhattan prosecutors postponed a scheduled grand jury session in the investigation into Donald Trump over hush money payments, at least temporarily slowing a decision on whether to charge the ex-president.
NEW YORK — Manhattan prosecutors postponed a scheduled grand jury session Wednesday in the investigation intoduring his 2016 presidential campaign, at least temporarily slowing a decision on whether to charge the ex-president, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The panel has been hearing from final witnesses, even as Trump himself has been railing against the investigation and claiming his arrest is imminent. Law enforcement officials have accelerated security preparations in the event of unrest accompanying an unprecedented charge against a former U.S. president.
The postponement comes amid mounting signs that the grand jury is nearing the completion of its work. The panel is probing Trump’s involvement in a $130,000 payment made in 2016 to the porn actor Stormy Daniels to keep her from going public about a sexual encounter she said she had with Trump years earlier.
