Introduction

The New York Times reports that the Manhattan District Attorney's office has signaled to attorneys for former President Donald Trump he could face criminal charges. It all stems from the investigation by DA Alvin Bragg's office into Trump's role in the payment of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors now have offered the former president the chance to testify next week before the grand jury that has been hearing evidence in a potential case. Two of Trump's defense attorneys tell NBC News Trump has been told through his attorneys he can appear before the grand Jury. They say this is standard and they also say there was no subpoena.
