We know theyre still in there. Its after 5 00 right now. Paula, walk us through what happens if the grand jury decides to indict donald trump and or any of his allies. Reporter we expect the indictment also be for over a dozen people. The former president s lawyers say they do expect he will be among those indicted. We would expect the District Attorney would seek an indictment from the grand jury and it would go to the Clerks Office where we will most likely get our copy. Then it will be made public and well be able to read about the charges. One of the things thats unclear, jake, is when the former president would appear for his initial appearance and a potential arraignment. In the federal cases that happened quickly. Down in georgia, sources telling cnn that the former president s team expects it may take a little longer to have his first appearance down in georgia if hes indicted. Paula reid, thanks so much. As those witnesses continue to testify before the grand jury in atlanta,
Atlanta, donald trump is expecting he could be indicted at any moment. cnn s alayna treene joins us. how is trump s team preparing for this latest indictment? reporter: jake, they have a playbook now. they ve had to respond to three previous indictments, and they re planning to use the same playbook with this potential indictment. they are lining up surrogates and allies, having them ready to respond to potential charges if they are filed. they ve also spoken to conservative media and had them write pre written statements. they re preparing a response ahead of time for when or if an indictment in georgia does come. i m also told that donald trump s team does expect that a potential arraignment, if he is indicted, would be in person. that he would have to show up in person in georgia and appear before the court. of course, that s an early guess from his team, from what they tell me. that s what they re anticipating at this time, jake.
