Correction: Reports on March 28 said the Manhattan grand jury was not expected to consider the Trump hush-money matter again that week; they did not definitively rule out action before week’s end.

Donald Trump’s hush-money case stayed in the news on March 28, 2023, after reports said the Manhattan grand jury was not expected to take up the matter again that week. The update did not resolve the investigation, but it did narrow the immediate timeline and kept the question of what came next hanging over the former president.

At that point, the matter was still pre-indictment. Trump had not been charged, and the grand jury had not yet made a public move on whether to bring a case. The reporting left open the possibility that prosecutors would return to the issue after the week ended.

Trump was still campaigning while the case remained unresolved, and the legal timeline continued to shadow his political schedule. The core fact, though, was simple: on March 28, the grand jury was not expected to act again that week.

Trump was indicted on March 30, 2023.
