On Wednesday, Politico revealed that the Manhattan grand jury responsible for potentially indicting 45th President Donald Trump will not be meeting for at least a month to consider the case brought by District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D).
It was revealed that the break was a prescheduled hiatus for the grand jury which would push a potential indictment into late April at the earliest, according to Politico.
The grand jury saw evidence in the Trump case on Monday, isn’t meeting on Wednesday, and is considering a different case on Thursday. The news of the hiatus comes after immense backlash against Bragg’s case last week when Trump revealed he could be arrested.
In response to the news, President Trump took to Truth Social to voice his respect for the grand jury.
“I HAVE GAINED SUCH RESPECT FOR THIS GRAND JURY, & PERHAPS EVEN THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM AS A WHOLE,” Trump wrote. “THE EVIDENCE IS SO OVERWHELMING IN MY FAVOR, & SO RIDICULOUSLY BAD FOR THE HIGHLY PARTISAN & HATEFUL DISTRICT ATTORNEY.”

“THE GRAND JURY IS SAYING, HOLD ON, WE ARE NOT A RUBBER STAMP, WHICH MOST GRAND JURIES ARE BRANDED AS BEING, WE ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE AGAINST A PREPONDERANCE OF EVIDENCE OR AGAINST LARGE NUMBERS OF LEGAL SCHOLARS ALL SAYING THERE IS NO CASE HERE,” Trump explained, adding, “DROP THIS SICK WITCH HUNT, NOW!”
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, chaos was reigning in the District Attorney’s office and doubts were being raised about the wisdom of bringing their weak case forward.
Sources within the office told The New York Post that Bragg was concerned following the testimony of former Cohen lawyer Bob Costello last Monday which could lead to the grand jury voting against an indictment.
“The only thing I’m doing is trying to tell the truth to the grand jurors because I read all these lies in the media that are being promoted by one side,” Costello said to the press following his testimony. “Listen if they want to go after Donald Trump and they have solid evidence, so be it. But Michael Cohen is far from solid evidence.”
With Bragg’s office and the case against Trump in shambles, it is apparent that aa indictment is increasingly unlikely.
