Case Against Trump Unexpectedly Dies?
I’m having a major case of déjà vu. The grand jury in the case against President Trump was placed on standby and no meeting took place yesterday.
Fox News reported:
"We can’t confirm or comment on Grand Jury matters," Bragg's office told Fox News.
Two sources familiar told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the grand jury was canceled amid "major dissension" within the district attorney's office. One source claimed the district attorney is having trouble convincing the grand jury on potential charges due to the "weakness" of the case.
Despite rumors of a potential imminent indictment, sources familiar told Fox News Digital that Trump has not been formally notified about whether Bragg actually plans to bring charges against him.
Sources told Fox News, though, that there remains a real chance that Bragg does not choose to indict the former president.
At the same time, memos from 2018-2019 have come to light in which Michael Cohen said he didn’t have evidence that Trump knew about hush money. Trump also posted yesterday on Truth Social, “Wow, look what was just found—A Letter from Cohen’s Lawyer to the Federal Election Commission.”
The Daily Wire reported that “former federal prosecutor Robert Costello testified in front of a Manhattan grand jury over matters related to a $130,000 hush money payment to a porn star in 2016. Costello told the jury that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, expected to be Bragg’s main witness in any case against Trump, ‘couldn’t tell the truth if you put a gun to his head.’”
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said on Fox News, “I think that Bragg now only has two possible results from that. Number one, he can say, ‘alright, I’m going to try to make the case without Cohen.’ He cannot use Cohen as a witness anymore. That would be unethical because of the testimony that Costello gave. Or he could say, ‘look, I have to drop the case.’ He may not be able to make it without Cohen. But if he can’t make it without Cohen, he can’t make it, because no ethical prosecutor is allowed to put on as a witness somebody who has told the lies and has contradicted himself so much.”
