Tension over the ex-US president: Today, Wednesday, Donald Trump (76) was expected to be accused of paying hush money. However, this has not happened so far. As CNN and Fox News report, citing well-informed sources, the charges have been “cancelled” for now.
In fact, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office should have heard at least one other witness on Wednesday as part of its investigation against Trump. The grand jury is now “on call” for Thursday.
According to Fox News, there is “major disagreement” within the prosecutor’s office. Accordingly, the prosecutor had difficulty convincing the jury of a possible indictment because the evidence was “weak”. There is also a real chance that New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg (49) will decide to oppose charges.
CNN sources suggest the prosecutor’s office is taking some time to regroup after last week’s events. Officially, the public prosecutor has not yet commented on the status of the investigation.
It is now completely open when – and also if – there will be an indictment. Earlier, Donald Trump himself said: “I will be arrested next Tuesday.” According to the ex-president, this should have happened on Tuesday. American media do not rule out that charges can still be filed this week. A so-called grand jury votes on this. In the United States, a jury decides whether to indict a case after the prosecution has presented evidence. It is composed of citizens randomly selected from electoral registers or other public records.
Grand juries are usually involved when it comes to bigger and controversial cases. However, the grand jury does not appear in public – so it is unclear what goes on behind closed doors. What is certain is that the panel has heard a number of witnesses in the case in recent weeks
The OM is investigating Trump for hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels (44) and model Karen McDougal (51). Investigators question whether Trump may have violated campaign finance laws by making the payment.
Hush money isn’t illegal in the US, but the indictment could make the $130,000 donations from Daniels and $150,000 from McDougal illegal in New York State. Trump sees the proceedings as a politically motivated “witch hunt” and had predicted Tuesday as the time of his “arrest”. (Darling)
