Michael Cohen testifying in New York suggests Trump indictment coming - MSNBCManhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appears to be nearing a final decision. Buckle up.
After many meetings with Manhattan prosecutors, the day has finally arrived for Michael Cohen to testify before the grand jury thats considering indicting his former boss, Donald Trump. Its the latest sign that charges for Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money case may be on the way.
Recall the recent reports of former Trump White House aides Kellyanne Conway and Hope Hicks meeting with prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggs office. As Ive noted, prosecutors were likely testing what Conway and Hicks would say about their conversations with Trump and/or Cohen around the time of Cohens 2016 payment to keep Daniels, a porn actress, quiet about her alleged affair with Trump ahead of the election. Now that prosecutors know what those other potential witnesses would say or should at least have a better idea theyre at the point where theyre ready to put Cohen, who would be a pivotal witness in any trial that comes, under oath in the grand jury.

And... they don't have to wait until the Thursday deadline that Trump was afforded, as Trump's attorneys have already declined the DA's offer to testify.

Asked about the investigation outside the DAs office at 12:30 p.m., Weisselberg told The Daily Beast that something has changed and it's up-leveled.
Its bigger than any taxes, paper, insurance, banks, insurance it's bigger than money, she said.
