Trump Has ‘No Plans’ to Testify in Grand Jury Investigation as Likelihood of Being Indicted Increases: Report

Former President Donald Trump has “no plans” to testify in the grand jury investigation into his involvement in the $130,000 hush payment made to former pornstar Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election, according to his lawyer.

“We have no plans on participating in that proceeding,” Trump attorney Joe Tacopina told ABC News on Monday. “Decision needs to be made still. There’s been no deadline set, so we’ll wait and see.”

The criminal investigation into Trump’s payment to Daniels, who says that she had an affair with the former president, has lasted five years. The case involves a payment that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who pled guilty to felony charges related to the payment, made to Daniels during the presidential race.

The New York Times reported that Cohen is set to testify this week, describing the move as a “sign that prosecutors are poised to indict the former president for his role in paying hush money.” (Read more from “Trump Has ‘No Plans’ to Testify in Grand Jury Investigation as Likelihood of Being Indicted Increases: Report” HERE)
