From CNN:
On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office referred to Braggs’ previous statements and declined further comment.
In New York state, unlike in federal courts, prosecutors are required to bring witnesses before the grand jury and can’t rely upon detective or agents to summarize witness testimony.
Prosecutors generally stop presenting evidence to a grand jury if they’re not intending to immediately seek an indictment because it is time-consuming and could expose a future case to scrutiny. Witnesses who appear before multiple grand juries are at risk of giving inconsistent statements, and prosecutors can be accused of jury shopping.
They’re so mad they’re copying Twitchy’s headline style? LOLOLOL:
Special grand jury seated in Manhattan DA's probe of Trump Org. finances set to EXPIRE on FRIDAY.
