Showing Original Post only (View all)BREAKING in WP: Grand jury convened in Trump case in New York [View all]
Prosecutor in Trump criminal probe convenes grand jury to hear evidence, weigh potential charges
Manhattan's district attorney has convened the grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former president Donald Trump, other executives at his company or the business itself should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges, according to two people familiar with the development.
The panel was convened recently and will sit three days a week for six months. It is likely to hear several matters not just the Trump case during the duration of its term, which is longer than a traditional New York state grand-jury assignment, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Generally, special grand juries such as this one are convened to participate in long-term matters rather than to hear evidence of crimes charged routinely.
The move indicates that District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.s investigation of the former president and his business has reached an advanced stage after more than two years. It suggests, too, that Vance believes he has found evidence of a crime if not by Trump then by someone potentially close to him or by his company.

As I keep saying ... Don't assume that just because you can't see the wheels working that they aren't turning.

Major ciminal cases often stay quite far below the radar, even after the grand jury has voted.
