Manhattan grand jury is NOT expected to hear Trump case for rest of week:

The Manhattan grand jury investigating a $130,000 ‘hush money’ payment made by former President Donald Trump to porn actor Stormy Daniels to keep her from going public is not expected to hear evidence for the rest of the week, sources tell DailyMail.com.

Upon the news of the delay, Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina hopes the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office rethinks the possible charges.

‘Everyone, from the left to the right, in the middle, are saying this case should not be brought. It should not because there is absolutely no crime. The law makes that clear.’ 

‘And you do not indict a president for the first time in this country’s history on a case that will never make it to the finish line,’ Tacopina tells the Dailymail.com exclusively.

‘I am hopeful that the DA’s office is cognizant of that and that they will not simply seek to charge President Trump because DA Bragg’s financiers are baying for his scalp. It would be the greatest form of injustice and would destroy the rule of law.’

The grand jury convened on Monday and heard testimony from David Pecker, a longtime Trump friend and the former chief executive of the parent company of The National Enquirer – it was the first time the jury had convened for the Trump case in a week.

There was still no word on when the panel might vote on a possible indictment of the former president, and any potential criminal charge won’t be voted on until next week at the earliest.
