The grand jury in former President Donald Trump’s case was abruptly canceled today under mysterious circumstances as the case comes under attack from all sides. Even Stormy Daniels old attorney, federal inmate Michael Avenatti, said the case was weak.
The grand jury was meant to meet today and take a vote to indict Trump. But the grand jury was notified Wednesday morning that Bragg canceled the meeting and placed them “on standby” for Thursday.
The grand jury has been meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to hear evidence about Trump’s alleged role in a 2016 payment of $130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Insider is reporting, “it is unlikely that the grand jury will meet at all this week, said one of the law enforcement sources, who spoke to Insider on condition of anonymity.”
Fox News is reporting the chaos is over a revolt within in the DA’s office over charging Trump. According to 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.
Bragg, when he took over as district attorney in January 2022, stopped pursuing charges against Trump and suspended the investigation “indefinitely,” according to one of the top prosecutors who resigned from the office in protest.
