Not so fast. A New York grand jury will hear a final surprise witness on Monday

A possible Donald Trump "hush-money" indictment is on hold until a final witness testifies before a Manhattan grand jury on Monday afternoon.

"There is one more witness," a source with knowledge of the investigation told Insider on Saturday night.

The source spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge details of the grand jury proceedings.

The source declined to identify the witness, whose testimony will cap a two-month grand jury presentation by prosecutors under District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

11. I heard that it still is a misdemeanor offense, might not push an arrest for that, all up in the air

Interesting times, I still have hope for pics of fingerprinting, mugshots and a perp walk, handcuffs would be the cherry on top, lol

12. Yeah I've heard "TV Lawyers" claim it is just a misdemeanor. They don't have a great track record

Of being right though!

Very hard for me to believe Bragg would go to all this trouble for a misdemeanor. Jmho but I think he’s got something else or he wouldn’t have revived this investigation.

That CNN article I linked above has info about negotiations between DA office and Trump team for Trump’s surrender. Interesting reading if you have time.

8. He reported the payoff as a 'business expense,' so I am not sure.

Possible that Bragg has more than we know. He doesn’t leak.

We’ll find out.
