According to a Politico report, the Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence in the criminal case against former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump was told to stay home on Wednesday.
The jury was told to stay on standby for Thursday. The reason for the adjournment is not yet known.
From Politico:
“The grand jury has been told to stay home today. They’re on standby for tomorrow,” one senior law-enforcement official said.
“The D.A.’s office didn’t tell the court why the day off, [they] just said, ‘I don’t want them today, maybe tomorrow,’” the official added.
A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The investigation appeared to be in its final stages in recent days, as prosecutors allowed a defense witness, Robert Costello, to testify on Monday.
