Trump's Manhattan Legal Woes: What's Next?

The Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into former President Donald Trump's alleged role in a 2016 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels has drawn attention after the grand jury took a two-day break from hearing evidence. Legal experts say such pauses don't necessarily signal a troubling turn for the investigation, but Trump has attacked the probe as politically motivated. The DA's office may delay an indictment to minimize the time period between the grand jury vote and when Trump could turn himself in for security reasons. Delay always benefits the defendant because evidence weakens with the passage of time and witnesses' memories fade, and that's what benefits Donald Trump.
