New evidence in the the Manhattan district attorney's office into Donald Trump's business practices suggests the former president is unlikely to be charged, The New York Times reported.
The Times reported that a number of recent developments, as told by the paper's sources, suggest "that the former president will not be indicted in Manhattan in the foreseeable future — if at all."
Here are the developments, according to The Times:
- At least three witnesses who were "once central" to the investigation have not heard from the DA's office or have not been called on to testify in the case.
- Other sources said a prosecutor in the DA's office has stopped focusing on Trump, despite having a big role in the investigation.
- Prosecutors who are still working on the case are no longer using the Manhattan "war room" that they had based themselves in for their investigation.
The ongoing investigation by the Manhattan DA's into the Trump Organization has now been going on for three years.
People with inside knowledge told Insider's Laura Italiano earlier this month that no new charges are expected.
The grand jury for the case expires at the end of this month.
A parallel case by New York Attorney General Letitia James is still ongoing.
