A Trump indictment could come as early as Wednesday -- here's why - RawStory
A Trump indictment could come as early as Wednesday — here's why - RawStoryFormer President Donald Trump could technically be indicted as early as Wednesday. That doesn't necessarily mean that he will be. But according to former Justice Department prosecutor and FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann, it is possible.
Legal analysts think that Michael Cohen is among the last witnesses for the grand jury to pull together all of the details to which others have already testified. While he's already spent most of Monday before the grand jury, he'll be back on Wednesday to do it again.
"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, it is 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."
