The decision on whether to indict former President Donald Trump over hush money paid to a porn star has been delayed as the New York grand jury, which usually meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons, did not convene on Wednesday. While interruptions in grand jury proceedings are not uncommon, it is unclear why the meeting was cancelled, and the earliest a decision may now be made is on Monday. If indicted, the 76-year-old Republican would be the first former or sitting president to be charged with a crime. Despite Trump's claim that he would be arrested on Tuesday, there have been no developments in the case.
