Manhattan DA begins presenting evidence in Trump-Stormy Daniels case before grand jury

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg began presenting evidence to a grand jury Monday regarding former President Donald Trump's role in providing hush payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election, a legal source confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Bragg's investigation is one of several into Trump that may result in criminal charges, and his decision to impanel a grand jury--first reported by the New York Times--indicates he will soon decide whether to charge the former president. Bragg began calling witnesses before the jury Monday, including former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who allegedly played a role in facilitating the payments to Daniels.

Pecker was present at the building where the grand jury met Monday, the source confirmed to Fox News.

Bragg has also contacted a number of others to testify, including Dylan Howard, the Enquirer's former editor, and two of Trump's own employees, Jeffrey McConney and Deborah Tarasoff.
