Surprise Witness In Manhattan Case Against Trump Suggests ‘Something Bigger’ Is Brewing

On Monday morning, former Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen showed up at a Manhattan courthouse to testify before a grand jury impaneled by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, signaling what many legal experts say is the final stage of the case being developed against former president Donald Trump for paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels in direct violation of New York law, according to The Hill.

The former personal lawyer to Trump has met with Bragg’s office on multiple occasions in recent weeks as he expressed a desire to testify and see charges brought against the former president in connection with a 2016 hush payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

“My goal is to tell the truth,” Cohen told reporters outside the courthouse, according to the AP.

“This is not revenge,” he added. “This is all about accountability. He needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds.”

But an unexpected witness also showed up at the same courthouse, The Daily Beast reports.

The surprise witness who testified Monday was none other than Jennifer Weisselberg, the ex-wife of Barry Weisselberg, son of convicted Trump Organization CEO Allen Weisselberg. Why was she there? She explained:

“Something has changed and it’s up-leveled. It’s bigger than any taxes, paper, insurance, banks, insurance…it’s bigger than money.”

Sounds like maybe Ms. Weisselberg has some information that we don’t yet know about. Information that will likely be contained in the upcoming indictment.

When will we see that indictment? It could be as soon as this week.
