NEW YORK (AP) — A New York grand jury investigating Donald Trump is hearing from final witnesses as law enforcement officials accelerate security preparations in advance of a possible indictment. This, as Trump’s fellow Republicans stake out positions in a criminal probe expected to shake up the 2024 presidential race. Robert Costello, a lawyer who had a falling out with the star government witness in the Trump investigation, testified Monday after being invited to appear before the grand jury. His testimony might have given the former president an indirect opportunity to make a case that he shouldn’t face criminal charges over hush money paid during his 2016 campaign.
