Stormy Daniels probe moves toward possible charging decision in Trump case
Michael Cohen sat for grand jury questioning on March 13 in the Manhattan hush-money investigation tied to Donald Trump, a sign the inquiry was still moving through a critical phase as prosecutors considered what to do next. Trump had also been invited to testify before the same grand jury, though no public charging decision had been announced by March 14.
The case centers on payments Cohen says were made to keep Stormy Daniels quiet during the 2016 campaign, along with another woman who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump. At issue in the broader reporting was whether the reimbursements were documented in a way that could support business-records charges. Trump denied wrongdoing.
As of March 14, the clearest fact was procedural, not dramatic: the grand jury had heard from Cohen, Trump had been offered a chance to give his account, and prosecutors had not yet said whether they would seek an indictment. The investigation was still ongoing.
