A grand jury in New York investigating whether former President Donald Trump authorized the falsification of business records connected to a “hush money” payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels will not meet Wednesday. This was confirmed by three sources familiar with the matter.
The grand jury first began hearing witnesses in January and has interviewed many of the key figures involved in the $130,000 payment to buy Stormy Daniels’ silence about an alleged affair. Grand jury proceedings are secret and the jury could always be called back in by the district attorney’s office.
The grand jury will not meet Wednesday and will be hearing an unrelated case on Thursday, the sources said. Earlier this month, the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg invited Trump to appear before the grand jury, but he declined.
The grand jury has yet to take any action on the Trump case, and it is not expected to consider it again this week. It is unclear when the grand jury will reconvene to discuss the case.
The investigation into Trump’s alleged role in the hush money payment has been ongoing for months, and the grand jury’s decision will be closely watched. It is unclear what the outcome of the investigation will be.
