The Manhattan grand jury weighing an indictment against former president Donald Trump has canceled its schedule for the remainder of the week. A law enforcement source close to the matter informed Business Insider that grand jurors will return to court Thursday, but the panel will meet in connection with a different case — not the Trump hush-money matter. The grand jurors are not expected to take up the hush-money case again until Monday at the earliest, according to the source, who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to discuss high-level planning for the panel, which meets in…

Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz speculated DA Bragg’s possible criminal case against the former president derailed after former federal prosecutor Robert Costello’s testimony. Dershowitz appeared on Fox News on Tuesday night and told host Sean Hannity that “Bob Costello has changed this case dramatically.” “I think that Bragg now only has two possible results from that. Number one, he can say, ‘alright, I’m going to try to make the case without Cohen.’ He cannot use Cohen as a witness anymore. That would be unethical because of the testimony…

Earlier this month, Carlson’s along with other Fox News officials’ private texts were revealed in court documents related to Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation…

Could there be one less Trump investigation? On Monday, former President Donald Trump’s legal team moved to halt the report from a special grand jury in Georgia‘s 2020 election probe. In the 50-page filing, Trump’s attorneys also seek to bar the use of any evidence derived from the report presented to a grand jury reviewing the matter.
