The grand jury’s meetings have been delayed multiple times since Trump’s March 18 announcement that he would be arrested. Prosecutors are looking into Trump’s role in a $130,000 payment to pornstar Stormy Daniels, who said she had an affair with the former president. Trump has denied the relationship.

Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.), told the Washington Free Beacon last week that putting Bragg on a witness stand is their "top priority."
