are no indications that an indictment has been handed upi]á today. where q grand jury is investigating the mar-a-lago documents case and the januaryi 6th rites. one of the prosecutors was also spottedjf enterçót(ñiv hearing before thet( d.c. chief judge andxd thei] special couns ongoing battle tofá compel hisx testimony before that grand jury. now, if you are wondering why trump st( attorneys were in the as a reminder,çó jack smithc subpoenaed pence for his testimony. anok abcñrt( now way may explain why aides. testify against the man he served in office. - p. sps investigation. justice department prosecutors sought to learn )rqáher trump ever acknowledged losing the election and what specific efforts he took to block the certification of the election. prosecutors believe his private conversations with trump couldç shed light on either or both.w3 and that is all fairly essential information as far as this entire investigation goes. so if jack smith wins this fight
not be thelp opening move.n him this is the type of thing you would see when he feels, jack smith feels as though he s amassed enoughç?$q+idence and gotten to the end game where he really needs something to close it and sort of wrap up whatever a and sort of wrap up whatever court will be farc more sympathetic to a jack smith than perhaps to the january 6th committee. li testify fromq the grand jury, yu know, criminalfá case than they are in terms of sort of justé@■ legislative open hearing and )5at type of thing.e1 different trump executi mx branch people tofá testify in opening hearing. that s very different than going behind closed doors in front of a grand jury and i think a court will see what he does but may be far more sympathetic to hisb.■ entries than he would have another time line questionñr
what happened yesterday andeó.ss not unusual for like yesterday for grand juries to put afá pause and for them !eñ r other matters. there s a lot going on politically. but it may have nothing to do with why the grand jury, you know, is hearing another matter today andq didn t sit yesterday. let me tap into your expertise about the long relationship between alvin bragg and donald trump.e1 susanne, you know so much about the history between the two of them. can youñi fill in some of the blanks for us? how far back do these two men go in their entanglement? well, it s interesting. a lot of it isn t sort of e1 that ll well known unless you re really a student of this. you see alvin bragg and he s out there and he s the manhattan d.a. but these two men go back quite a way. alvin bragg was a senior attorney in the new york attorney general s officee1 for some time and he actually oversaw the case that was brought againstq the trump foundation. the trump foundation in that instance
preparatory to charging him. man, that would be a crazy last-minute thing.e1 and to andrew s credit he was just saying pure e1speculation. i think here s the thing to really stress,e1 ayman. there sq so much concrete indication before this)¦ñ that y are going forward that the surmise now that maybe somethin1 is really wrong there or they re trying to salvage it i don t think holds up without a lot more evidence. it would be like taking a train going 200 miles an hour and just jamming it into reverse alló[■ u it szv■ a good parlor game andrs playing. i m ÷ but i thinkw3 the main thing ise have no concrete indication now that it s fundamentally the direction has fundamentally changed and there s reasonv doubt as trump hopes that bragg is going forward.
