Back on

I thought this might happen when they canceled yesterday's Grand Jury.
The Manhattan grand jury that has been hearing evidence in the case pertaining to Trump’s alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to an adult film star will sit on Thursday.

[...]

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has suggested to an attorney for at least one witness in the past 24 hours that they might need to provide more testimony to the grand jury in its hush money probe.

[...]

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is trying to determine whether to call back Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, to refute the testimony provided earlier this week by lawyer Robert Costello – or to call an additional witness to buttress their case before the grand jurors consider a vote on whether to indict the former president, the source familiar with the investigation said.

I'm sorry they don't already feel certain about the Grand Jury vote.
There is still the possibility that the grand jury could be asked to vote this week, but it could also stretch into next week, the source said.

[...]

Prosecutors do not have an urgent deadline as the grand jury sits until June.
But the rest of us are beginning to give up. Maybe Fani Willis will beat Bragg to the punch after all.

Reminder: if Trump doesn't appeal yesterday's decision, Corcoran will testify before the grand jury on the Mar-A-Lago documents case.

Expect this will be the main charge:



UPDATE 10:45 am:  There is reporting that the Grand Jury is meeting on a different case.

There's also reporting that there may be a problem with Daniels attempting to retain Trump attorney Tacopina once upon a time.  Unless there are things unreported about that, I don't see it as being a problem since he didn't represent her.  We'll see.  But this could be a reason for the delay.
