Back in January, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office dramatically escalated its investigation into former President Donald Trump.
At the time, D.A. Alvin Bragg began presenting evidence to a New York City grand jury on Trump’s role in paying for porn star Stormy Daniels‘ silence before the 2016 presidential election.
Now, the former president is being told that he could appear before the grand jury and testify next week if he wishes to — a strong indication he will face criminal charges.
Per The New York Times:
The Manhattan district attorney’s office recently signaled to Donald J. Trump’s lawyers that he could face criminal charges for his role in the payment of hush money to a porn star, the strongest indication yet that prosecutors are nearing an indictment of the former president, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.
The prosecutors offered Mr. Trump the chance to testify next week before the grand jury that has been hearing evidence in the potential case, the people said. Such offers almost always indicate an indictment is close; it would be unusual for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, to notify a potential defendant without ultimately seeking charges against him.
In New York, potential defendants have the right to answer questions in the grand jury before they are indicted, but they rarely testify, and Mr. Trump is likely to decline the offer. His lawyers could also meet privately with the prosecutors in hopes of fending off criminal charges.
Any case would mark the first indictment of a former American president, and could upend the 2024 presidential race in which Mr. Trump remains a leading contender. It would also elevate Mr. Bragg to the national stage, though not without risk, and a conviction in the complex case is far from assured.
The payments to Daniels were to cover up an alleged affair between her and Trump. Bragg’s office chose to revive the investigation, which prosecutors used to charge former Trump attorney Michael Cohen with campaign finance violations.
Bragg’s predecessor considered charging Trump with violating election law for falsifying business records to misrepresent the payments but ultimately abandoned the idea.

The slobs will find or fabricate anything they can on Mr. Trump because he is an Outsider on the side of We The People and thus, he thwarts and confounds their little money and power games.
They are all old dark money. Trump isnt dark like they are. He isnt afraid of them either. They’ve tried taking out all his allies in even his lawyers. Dems are the evil criminals. They all need to be arrested!!
President Trump has considered all scenarios, and he still hasn’t walked away from the American people. He is the only man with fortitude to take on the DS/NWO, and win!
What has paying off a pornstar got to do with an election campaign when what the pornstar was saying that the “incident” happened a few years before the election.
And it was the lawyer, who is in jail for a lot of fraud he did with client’s money, who wanted Trump to write a check and Trump said No, give it (the problem) to Trump’s top accountant and lawyers. The decision was left to someone else meaning
Trump removed himself from the “deal” that the crooked lawyer wanted. He wanted a Trump check so he could keep the money with him not with Trump’s office people. Cohen gave the used prostitute a pittance of money she received from other sources like her stripping in bars for a living after she and Cohen tried their little con deal using a picture of her and Trump having someone else take a picture of a fan getting her picture with a famous man and than using it as proof they were having sex together. Same old, same old con jobs. This sounds like bribing someone into paying off money. Cohen was a bad lawyer but until a lot of stuff came out in the open how do clients know that. I assume my lawyer is doing his job for me until something happens. Just like I pray I have a good doctor until I get suspicious of some “good” doctor decision that doesn’t sound so good and even than you, the client have to prove the your lawyer is crooked. .
I would say the New York democrat leaders et al really dont want trump to run. Democrats are always digging. Why only now is this issue just coming up? 2016 was long ago. This is nonsense. Schumer, AOC, the DA, AG, etc need to investigate their own side of the aisle. Start with Raskin and Ciccilini (now back in RI making handsome money).After all, they lied during the bogus impeachment trials, falsified evidence. They are both true criminals.
