The Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump over hush money payments is back in court and hearing evidence related to the case.

A defiant and incendiary Donald Trump, facing a potential indictment, held the first rally of his 2024 presidential campaign Saturday in Waco, Texas, a city made famous by deadly resistance against law enforcement.

In addition to the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation, the ex-president faces probes in New York over hush money and in Atlanta over efforts to reverse his election loss in Georgia.

The panel is is probing Trump’s involvement in a $130,000 payment made in 2016 to the porn actor Stormy Daniels to keep her from going public about a sexual encounter she said she had with Trump years earlier.

For 40 years, former President Donald Trump has navigated a flurry of legal investigations without ever facing criminal charges.

A city mindful of the riot by Trump loyalists at the U.S. Capitol more than 2 years ago took steps to protect itself from any violence that could accompany the unprecedented prosecution of a former president, who stayed in Florida.

Law enforcement officials are bracing for protests and the possibility of violence after Trump called on his supporters to protest ahead of a possible indictment.
