The Manhattan grand jury weighing an indictment against former President Donald Trump has reportedly scheduled testimony from another witness on Wednesday, pushing off any decision and delaying a potential indictment against the 45th president , despite Trump's speculation about his own indictment and arrest "on Tuesday."
According to a report from Fox News, citing a source in law enforcement, authorities now don't expect a potential arraignment for Trump, if he is indicted, until next week due to testimony from the additional witness whose identity remains unknown.
The reported delay for a decision from the grand jury comes after NYPD ordered its officers to wear full uniforms on Tuesday and continued ramping up its security preparations, as Leah reported on Tuesday.

If the former president is indicted and arraigned, Trump will appear in-person in Manhattan because appearing for a "virtual arraignment" has already been "ruled out," according to Fox News' reporting.
With Trump potentially heading to New York, and as Townhall covered previously, authorities in the city have been coordinating more stringent security and increase police presence around the courthouse and Trump Tower. Leah reported late last week that "security assessments are being made around the Manhattan Criminal Court in the event an indictment comes as early as next week, with NYPD, New York State Court Officers, U.S. Secret Service, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office all involved in planning and discussions."
Over the weekend, Trump called for his supporters to "protest, protest, protest" in a post on Truth Social over what he expected to be an indictment and arrest "on Tuesday." The former president posted a video late Monday night in which he said investigations targeting him have "gone on forever with Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, and the Mueller hoax," adding "it's an absolute disgrace what's going on."
Already, even without any news regarding the grand jury's decision, supporters of the former president gathered outside his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where Townhall's Julio Rosas has been staked out on Tuesday.

The wait for a decision will now apparently continue as the grand jury reportedly considers new testimony from at least one additional witness in a case dealing with a so-called "hush money" payment made to Stormy Daniels on Trump's behalf during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Republican officials and conservative leaders have spoken out, both in support of the former president-turned-2024 candidate and against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his politically motivated prosecution based on "legally pathetic" grounds.
This is a developing story and may be updated.

The DA doesn’t have enough ham for a ham sandwich.
hildabeast & webb’s daughter are also in the city for
“an event”
Agree ... this story will probably set a new record for disappearing from the news cycles.
He will say the Grand Jury was “threatened” out of an indictment. Or he will say he wont bring a case to insure “safety” of New Yorkers. Both excuses are complete B.S.
The point was to try to generate a riot, then they realized nobody was taking the bait.
Bet if he cut himself he would bleed gravy.
He lives in two zip codes...
The ‘case against Trump” ?
What case? Ya mean the one they have been making up as they go along???
Nancy reminds me of Madame Defarge
If the former president is indicted and arraigned, Trump will appear in-person in Manhattan because appearing for a “virtual arraignment” has already been “ruled out,” according to Fox News’ reporting.
Where is the Secret Service? This exposes Trump to unreasonable risk.
This exposes Trump to unreasonable risk....
Part of the plan.
Yes exactly. “Members of the Grand Jury received death threats, as did staff of this office.”
opinion statute
"(a) Any period following the commission of the offense during which (i) the defendant was continuously outside this state or (ii) the whereabouts of the defendant were continuously unknown and continuously unascertainable by the exercise of reasonable diligence. However, in no event shall the period of limitation be extended by more than five years beyond the period otherwise applicable under subdivision two." (My emphasis.)
Thus, it appears that the question is whether Trump was "continuously outside of New York" while he was President and thereafter. Since he traveled constantly while President and often appeared in New York, it might be hard to make the "continuously outside" case. Also, if his travels in the last two years included occasional stop offs in NY it could still be hard to make that case. Opposing that is that he pretty well ceased to be a NY resident after being elected President.
Will a NYH lawyer who's familiar with how NY courts that have interpreted that provision please step up and enlighten us.
And a bonus. Nobody is talking about the bank failures or the corruption they have on Potato Joe and the Bidens.
This whole fiasco is starting to sound a lot like “climate change”…
“The world is gonna end by everyone freezing to death!”
“The world is gonna end because the ozone layer!”
“The world is gonna end in a ball of flames!”
“The world is gonna end on June 2!” (No year required)
Yawn......
“Saw about 5 protesters in NYC today.
One of the Live alphabet news stations.
They were all libtards. Holding signs with handcuffs painted on them.
No Trump supporters.”
Trump fatigue. People also don’t want to be left to rot in prison like the J6 protestors.
Not talking about something does not mean that something is not being paid attention too by the people who have the authority to do something about it. Not everything is driven by public opinion.
