Trump indictment: Grand jury vote expected Wednesday

  • Trump is facing possible criminal charges related to “hush money” payments
  • The former president has called for protests if he is indicted
  • Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen has been a key witness in the case

NEW YORK (NewsNation) — The Manhattan grand jury will not vote Tuesday on whether to indict former President Donald Trump over hush-money payments made on his behalf during his 2016 presidential campaign, sources told NewsNation.

The jury expects to vote Wednesday, sources said.

Over the weekend, Trump claimed, without any evidence, on his Truth Social platform that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday, and exhorted followers to protest. His representatives later said he was citing media reports and leaks.

“They have to have enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, because the last thing you want to do, especially in a high profile case like this, is to indict and not have enough evidence going forward,” former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano told NewsNation’s Marni Hughes.

The testimony from Robert Costello, a lawyer with close ties to numerous key Trump aides, appeared to be a final opportunity for allies of the former president to steer the grand jury away from an indictment. He was invited by prosecutors to appear after saying that he had information to undercut the credibility of Michael Cohen, a former lawyer and fixer for Trump who later turned against him and then became a key witness in the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation.

Costello had provided Cohen legal services several years ago after Cohen himself became entangled in the federal investigation into the hush money payments. In a news conference after his grand jury appearance, Costello told reporters that he had come forward because he did not believe Cohen, who pleaded guilty to federal crimes and served time in prison, could be trusted.

The grand jury has been 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 him years earlier. Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, through a shell company before being reimbursed by Trump, whose company, the Trump Organization, logged the reimbursements as legal expenses.

The police begin to shield the criminal court of NEW YORK with fences; This increases speculation about a hypothetical ARREST of DONALD TRUMP by the authorities tomorrow. Be careful: there are thousands of Trumpists mobilized on a war footing in NY.

At the moment, everything we know about this possible arrest has been leaked by some media and the former president himself, without there being any official record to confirm it. As I anticipated, if it occurs, serious altercations will surely be generated.

The climate of political polarization in the US is suffocating, in a country with more weapons than inhabitants, a government adrift involved in a very unpopular war and paramilitary movements like the Boogaloo ready to mess it up. Can we be facing an unprecedented outbreak?
