NextImg:Michael Cohen to Testify in Trump Probe on Monday with Indictment Impending

Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen will appear in front of a Manhattan grand jury on Monday, with a criminal indictment against Trump looking increasingly possible.

Several people with knowledge of the inquiry told the New York Times that Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg has already questioned at least seven people in connection with a hush-money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels on behalf of the former president. Cohen, who made the payment to Daniels, is a key witness in the probe and potentially the last to appear before the grand jury.

Every major player will have appeared after Cohen’s testimony, with the exception of Stormy Daniels herself, who may not be called.

Prosecutors are widely expected to make a final decision on whether to criminally indict Trump shortly thereafter.

In another indication that an indictment is close, prosecutors offered Trump the chance to testify next week, according to the Associated Press.

The $130,000 payment in question was made to Daniels in the final days of the 2016 presidential election by Cohen, who in turn was reimbursed by Trump. Prosecutors have focused on whether Trump falsified internal records to hide the reimbursement from voters.

Trump has repeatedly called the investigation a “witch hunt.”

This is not the only active criminal probe into the former president. In Georgia, Trump is being investigated by the Fulton County district attorney for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election. He is also being investigated federally by special counsel Jack Smith for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results as well as for his handling of classified documents.
