Former President Donald Trump has not been notified about whether charges will be filed against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his alleged role in facilitating a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, sources told The Post.

Sources also told The Post that it is still possible that Bragg decides not to indict the 76-year-old former president.

Trump could be indicted as early as Wednesday, although he is not expected to appear in court until next week, law enforcement sources told The Post on Tuesday.

According to Fox News, the Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence against the former president has another witness slated to testify on Wednesday.

It is unclear who will be testifying on Wednesday.

If an indictment is brought against Trump, Bragg’s office would call Trump’s lawyers to inform them of the grand jury’s decision, and negotiations would immediately begin for the former president’s surrender.

It is believed that Bragg is considering slapping Trump with charges related to the falsifying of business records, or bookkeeping fraud, over the $130,000 in hush money allegedly paid to Daniels by Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen to cover up an alleged 2006 affair between the real estate mogul and the porn star.

Trump may also be hit with campaign finance related charges because of the alleged hush money payment.

The former president could face up to four years in prison if convicted of the reported “low-level felony’’ charges Bragg is believed to be considering bringing.

Told my wife yesterday that this place is so far down the tubes it is not coming back, ever. A feeble bag of crap is president and most elected officials are corrupt. My uncle now deceased and a WW 2 navy flyer said it best just before he died: I think now I was shooting at the wrong enemy. Wow.
I went willingly in 68. Today would not answer the bell.

You’ve got THAT right, Buddy.

If there’s one thing the Republican party can be counted on for, it’s that it’ll walk away from him without hesitation.

(Hope yer doin’ OK)

Because Bragg hasn’t made his final presentation and summary to the grand jury. That may happen today.

Bragg does not have time and is restricted at this point. He has to go to Congress tomorrow.

I've heard it said that the GOP's decision to bring Bragg down to DC just might scare him off.

I heard part of a discussion yesterday on the statute of limitations. IIRC it was said that the “clock” is paused if the target leaves the jurisdiction in order to avoid prosecution. But the response I heard was “Trump didn't leave NY to avoid prosecution,he left to become the President of the United States”

I’ve seen it suggested that his office is in chaos...but I don’t believe it for a minute. I’d wager everything I own that he’ll get 100% support in NYC,Albany and at Rat Party Headquarters.

I think Trump wants to be arrested so he’ll have a mug shot to use during his campaign. Trump has a problem getting the female vote and like Waylon Jennings said, “Ladies Love Outlaws.”

You must have a special news feed. There is no schedule for Bragg to appear.

It is not suggested but reported by Bernie Kerik who has inside connections there.

An obvious political prosecution that will be mocked and fail can only help Trump. He's been saying for years that has been unfairly prosecuted and targeted, this silly indictment proves it to even the most low info voter.

I suppose that he might have one or two pals in that office.

From what I’ve read I bet there are whistleblowers who are going to help sink Bragg.
