The grand jury investigating alleged hush-money payments made by former President Donald J. Trump will not make an indictment until next week at the earliest. The grand jury typically does not consider the case on Thursdays and does not meet on Fridays. According to a person with knowledge of the matter, Alvin L. Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, has been devoting time to questioning witnesses about Trump's role in the payment to the porn star, Stormy Daniels, which indicates that prosecutors are nearing an indictment. Nonetheless, the exact timing of any charges remains unknown. Although the special grand jury hearing evidence about Mr. Trump meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, it typically does not hear evidence about the Trump case on Thursdays, according to the person with knowledge of the matter. Scheduling testimony could cause a brief delay in the proceedings. It is unclear whether Mr. Bragg's office has completed its presentation of evidence to the grand jury or if another witness will still testify. The grand jury is expected to vote on whether to bring an indictment in the hush-money case. According to former assistant district attorney Jeremy Saland, the grand jury proceedings were canceled on Wednesday to address case details carefully, such as testimony that wasn't able to be brought in.
