Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen is reportedly expected to testify before a grand jury next week in the Stormy Daniels hush money case — in another sign that New York prosecutors are likely to soon indict the former president for his role in the matter.
Cohen, Trump’s former fixer, is believed to be the last witness that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg will question in the probe, the New York Times reported Friday.
At least seven other witnesses have already come before the grand jury, the outlet reports, and Cohen’s scheduled appearance in a Manhattan courtroom next week is the second strong indication that an indictment against Trump is near, and could come this month.
Lanny Davis, an attorney for Cohen, told the New York Times Friday that “we’re cooperating with the investigation.”
“We appreciate the professionalism of Mr. Bragg’s team,” he added.
Trump, 76, has reportedly also been offered the chance to sit in front of the grand jury next week and defend himself before the indictment comes down.
The former commander-in-chief is likely to decline the offer — which is usually only presented to potential defendants when criminal charges are close to being filed the Times reported Thursday.
