Trump Grand Jury Moves Into Final Phase as Key Witnesses Testify

Source: Daily Beast

New Yorkers on a grand jury who will decide whether to indict former President Donald Trump are finally hearing directly from two witnesses on Monday, damning testimony that was years in the making.

Jurors are hearing from Jennifer Weisselberg, a one-time Trump family confidant embroiled in a bitter divorce who explained how the real estate mogul ordered his top finance executive to dodge taxes and cook the books.

Asked about the investigation outside the DA’s office at 12:30 p.m., Weisselberg told The Daily Beast that “something has changed and it's up-leveled.”

They are also hearing from Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, who detailed how his boss used him to cover-up a hush payment to a porn star—breaking election laws to protect his 2016 presidential campaign.

The only reason they would do that is if they are considering charges not related to that payoff.

But who knows.

Laid it all out. A decision, indictment, could be within days.

Fantastic guests explain the scenarios.

This is about more than just the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and the Playboy model, there are other financial crimes that are part of this too.

I expect Trump is going to face several charges and counts of some of those charges.
