The hiatus was scheduled, but an indictment is looking less and less likely.
According to a report from Politico, the Manhattan grand jury examining Donald Trump’s alleged role in a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels is going on a month-long break and won’t be hearing new evidence or testimony.
From Politico:
The break would push any indictment of the former president to late April at the earliest, although it is possible that the grand jury’s schedule could change. In recent weeks, the Manhattan district attorney’s office hasn’t convened the panel on certain days. But it is District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prerogative to ask the grand jury to reconvene if prosecutors want the panel to meet during previously planned breaks.
The grand jury, which heard testimony in the Trump case on Monday, isn’t meeting Wednesday and is expected to examine evidence in a separate matter Thursday, the person said. The grand jury, which typically meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, is scheduled to consider another case next week on Monday and Wednesday, the person said, and isn’t expected to meet Thursday due to the Passover holiday.
The DA’s office declined to comment.
