And while he\u2019s railed against the case, including attacking Bragg, in several social media updates, his posts in recent days have veered from touting an upcoming rally in Texas to promoting a new book while also taking shots at potential 2024 contender Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>But Saturday\u2019s post, paired with multiple reports that an indictment could be imminent, created a sense of anticipation that Trump could be charged early this week, making him the first former president in U.S. history to face an indictment.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In lower Manhattan, authorities set up metal barriers and prepared for the possibility of demonstrations. In Florida, the subject loomed over a retreat for House Republicans and on the campaign front, potential 2024 presidential candidates were asked about the possibility of Trump surrendering in New York.<\/p>\n<p>The grand jury tends to meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, meaning if there is no vote on an indictment on Thursday, the matter could stretch into next week.<\/p>\n<p>When no indictment was announced Tuesday or early Wednesday, Trump suggested Bragg may have changed his mind entirely.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But the secret nature of the grand jury proceedings leaves a number of potential reasons for the waiting <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could be in the DA\u2019s office, or the grand jury, or Trump could be trying to do something \u2013 or none of the above,\u201d said Alan Morrison, a law professor at George Washington University.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the mystery, Bragg\u2019s office has recently taken a series of steps suggesting they could soon seek an indictment.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u00a0Prosecutors last week brought in before the jurors Michael Cohen, Trump\u2019s former fixer who made the $130,000 hush payment before receiving reimbursement from Trump. Cohen is expected to play a major role in any future trial.<\/p>\n<p>The jury on Monday heard from Robert Costello, a former legal adviser to Cohen, who sought to rebut his testimony at the request of Trump\u2019s lawyers. New York law allows a person whom a criminal charge is about to be brought to request a witness appear before their grand jury.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors also invited Trump himself to appear if he wanted, another sign they were nearing a final charging decision.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But Bragg still retains the option to bring in additional witnesses or present new information before seeking an indictment.<\/p>\n<p>Clark Brewster, Stormy Daniels\u2019s lawyer, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/03\/21\/politics\/joe-tacopina-trump-lawyer-stormy-daniels\/index.html\">told CNN<\/a> on Tuesday that communications between the adult film actress and Joe Tacopina, who represents Trump, had been turned over to the district attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>It purportedly includes communications showing Daniels seeking representation in 2018 and discussing confidential information about her situation with Tacopina, which would raise questions about his ability to now represent the former president in the investigation.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Brewster did not return multiple messages seeking comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
