...then maybe, but probably not.
according to former Justice Department prosecutor and FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann, it is possible

"Something else happened today that makes it, I think, even more imminent," said Weissmann. "But what I'm getting at is the thing I was looking for is that we are hearing that defense counsel for Donald Trump went and made a presentation to the prosecutors. Because that's something that is really routine, any sort of ethical, responsible prosecutor is going to give that opportunity and, frankly, any good defense lawyer is going to take that opportunity. And The New York Times reported that that meeting has occurred already. And the import of that is, I think, when the grand jury presentation is over, if Alvin Bragg's decision at that point and there is nothing left. So frankly, that could even be Wednesday. just to put everyone on alert."

This was just a clear cut case of criminal activity, anyone who did it would get charged, because he was President it just took longer. You don't get to pay hush money to multiple sex workers with campaign funds, that's just not OK, and there are people in prison for less.
The humor in all of this is that Trump is going to be charged because he was cheap. This was a shake down and he could have paid a little more to keep it quiet.
