Nice to see the feds keeping a tight lid on the grand jury process!
Cranking up the pressure on someone to make a deal, while they can,

Interesting. The govt may also file a superseding indictment to add additional charges against the current named defendants, e.g. if the USAO has new evidence of additional misconduct and wants to add additional pressure on a defendant to take a plea and testify, then the USAO may file a superseding indictment.
Hopefully this all comes to a crescendo during the midterms when Democrats are campaigning as being the party that restored good government, decency and ethics
R. Kelly Trial Delayed To September 2021
R. Kelly’s child pornography trial will now take place in September 2021, after the Covid-19 pandemic led to a further delay.
The disgraced musician faces charges of creating and possessing child pornography and sexual exploitation of a minor. While he was initially due to appear in federal court in Chicago in April, the first wave of the pandemic resulted in the trial being delayed until October.
And in a hearing which took place on the phone on Tuesday, Judge Harry Leinenweber set the new trial date for 13 September, although he stressed that it was still subject to change.
