The New York City grand Jury investigating alleged 2016 indirect hush money payments by President Trump had their second session in a row canceled on Thursday. The investigation by Soros backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has apparently been thrown into chaos following the bombshell testimony of former federal prosecutor Robert Costello to the grand jury on Monday that undercut Bragg and star witness Michael Cohen.
CNN reported on the Thursday cancellation (excerpt):
The Manhattan grand jury investigating Trump’s alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to an adult film star will not hear that case when it convenes today, according to two sources familiar with the matter, pushing the Manhattan’s district attorney’s probe into next week.
…The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is trying to determine whether to call back Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, to refute the testimony provided earlier this week by lawyer Robert Costello —or to call an additional witness to buttress their case before the grand jurors consider a vote on whether to indict the former president, the source familiar with the investigation said.
CNN also reported the earliest the grand jury could meet is Monday next week and that an unnamed witness has been told they may be recalled to give more testimony.
The Daily Mail also reported on the cancellation, but noted the jury will meet on another case (excerpt):
The grand jury will not be convening this week in the case of Donald Trump’s hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
The new reports come after sources told DailyMail.com that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is having trouble convincing jurors to indict Trump.
While the grand jury will return to court Thursday at noon, the panel will be discussing a different case.
…One source told DailyMail.com that: ‘They are having trouble convincing the jury to swallow the case. It’s a weak case and has caused divisions in the DA’s office.’
Other reports suggested the DA’s office could be contemplating a change of strategy.

Lucy did it again.
The Dems think the Georgia Case and the Secret Document Case have more potential. This is just a cr** case and would be lost on appeal. It would wind up being an embarrassment...yeh...like they were embarrassed with the Russia, Russia, Russia case.
Alvin the Chipmunk’s fat a$$ should be in prison.
Along with the other 74 Soros DA’s.
DA > dumb a$$
Sounds like a slam dunk case!
lets prosecute!! lol
the dog ate the indictment?
Aaaand that’s all folks! 😆
The left is going to go ballistic if this case is ultimately thrown out, as it should be.
Looking forward to the fireworks.
I hear Hillary has some stashed in NYC.
I honestly think that Bragg and his office definitely know the case won’t go anywhere. They just want to create the optics of Trump being in handcuffs or behind temporary bars, to satiate their raving mad base.
Naw...They want to get to the Top Secret Document Case...which is starting to get hot.
If a grand jury of NYers is having a hard time swallowing THAT says a hell of a lot.
It must be the base putting tremendous pressure on Bragg because the case itself is non existent.
