Former President Donald Trump is not off the hook yet in ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg's criminal investigation into him and his business empire.
Bragg clarified Thursday that his office's investigation remains ongoing, despite press speculation that it was winding down as its grand jury’s term is set to expire and two high-profile prosecutors departed from the inquiry in February."In recent weeks, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has been repeatedly asked whether our investigation concerning former President Donald J. Trump, the Trump Organization, and its leadership is continuing. It is," he said in a statement.
The investigation began in 2019 under Bragg's predecessor, Cyrus Vance, who convened a new grand jury in the case last November. The grand jury was reportedly on a monthlong pause in February when the two prosecutors departed the investigation with panelists instructed to stay home, leading to speculation that the review would soon conclude. But Bragg insisted he was not limited by the grand jury's term.
New York law prohibits prosecutors from disclosing grand jury matters. Bragg said he will not publicly discuss the grand jury or the next steps of the investigation. He vowed he will inform the public when the inquiry concludes.
