New Yorkers on a grand jury who will decide whether to indict former President Donald Trump are finally hearing directly from two witnesses on Monday, damning testimony that was years in the making.
Asked about the investigation outside the DA’s office at 12:30 p.m., Weisselberg told The Daily Beast that “something has changed and it's up-leveled.”They are also hearing from Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, who detailed how his boss used him to cover-up a hush payment to a porn star—breaking election laws to protect his 2016 presidential campaign.“It's been a long time coming, five years now, give or take,” Cohen said. “This is not revenge.
Prosecutors at this office, formally called the New York County District Attorney’s Office, have been investigating Trump since halfway through his presidency. That’s when details emerged that Trump had ordered Cohen to silence the porn star Stormy Daniels and keep the National Enquirer tabloid from running her story—paying hush money to conduct a dirty tactic called “catch-and-kill.”
That’s when the previous Manhattan DA, Cyrus Vance Jr., picked up the baton and assembled a team of local prosecutors to build a parallel case. These investigators discovered that Trump likely broke state laws by directed the hush money payment, faking real estate property values, and paying his company executives in a way that would dodge taxes, according to an ex-prosecutor’s tell-all book.
