That means a vote on whether or not to indict the former president likely wouldn’t come until late April at the earliest.
The person who confirmed the grand jury’s schedule was not authorized to speak publicly about secretive grand jury proceedings and did so on condition of anonymity. A message left with the district attorney’s office was not immediately returned.
The district attorney’s office is legally prohibited from publicly discussing the grand jury process, but witnesses and their attorneys aren’t bound by the same secrecy rules, and some have spoken out. On March 20, the grand jury heard from a witness favorable to Trump. “Even in a situation where there’s an investigative grand jury, usually the prosecutor doesn’t start the process until they’re ready to move forward with it,” said Klein, a former public defender in Manhattan. In general, he said, prosecutors like to keep proceeding steadily so that grand jurors don’t lose the thread of what they’ve heard, or speculate about why there are hiatuses.
Trump’s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen, who has testified as a key prosecution witness, paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 through a shell company he set up and was then reimbursed by Trump, whose company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses.
