The Manhattan district attorney’s office on Monday will begin presenting evidence to a grand jury about Donald J. Trump’s role in paying hush money to a porn star during his 2016 presidential campaign, laying the groundwork for potential criminal charges against the former president in the coming months, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The grand jury was recently impaneled, and witness testimony will soon begin, a clear signal that the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, is nearing a decision about whether to charge Mr. Trump.

On Monday, one of the witnesses was seen with his lawyer entering the building in Lower Manhattan where the grand jury is sitting. The witness, David Pecker, is the former publisher of The National Enquirer, the tabloid that helped broker the deal with the porn star, Stormy Daniels.

1. So what does this mean?

3. What it means is, it goes on. And on. And on.

[BlackSkimmer]

4. Exactly.

As predicted.

[phoenix75]

5. Agreed

Ho hum ....

2. So is an indictment imminent?

6. Ok, I understand your indictment fatigue, and I certainly share it.

But 2 things:

1. This is NY and NY hates the imbecile. They have no reason to protect him.
2. Why mount a case to a grand jury if not to indict?

7. How does this survive the statute of limitations?

Please don't take the question the wrong way.
I'd love to see Trump convicted for everything he did.
But he supposedly did this in 2016 so how does 6 1/2 years later survive the statute of limitations?
The accounting/cover up afterwards?

8. A heartwarming indictment

Before the end, trump's gonna wind up unintentionally confessing to one thing to intentionally deny something ese.

9. Cohen is on Wallace now

Justice is coming

[fightforfreedom]

10. There are now 4 major criminal investigations into Trump.

How people can say nothing is happening defies logic. There are also multiple civil investigations. Trump the traitor is in deep shit. He has never faced anything like this before and his chances of getting out of all these investigations are about zero.

You are correct, justice is coming.
