Alvin Bragg is 'struggling' to convince grand jury to charge Trump: Questions ... trends now

The Manhattan grand jury expected to consider criminal charges against former President Donald Trump did not meet on Wednesday, triggering speculation that prosecutors have hit problems in building their case.

After hearing evidence on Monday, jurors were told they were not needed on Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

However, a court official told DailyMail.com that they will sit again at noon on Thursday. 

In Florida, Trump left his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach to spend time at his golf club. He was spotted returning in his motorcade, wearing a white polo shirt. 

It suggests it is is business as usual for Trump, who locals say generally plays golf every day from Wednesday through Sunday. 

Meanwhile, the Manhattan district attorney's office offered no explanation for canceling the Wednesday hearing, but Trump supporters were quick to claim it meant the case was in difficulty.

'They are having trouble convincing the jury to swallow the case. It's a weak case and has caused divisions in the DA's office,' said a source.

Other reports suggested the DA's office could be contemplating a change of strategy. 

The grand jury meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but postponements are not unusual and jurors are warned to expect last-minute changes.

Either way it leaves the nation with a cliffhanger.

The delay was was first reported by Insider.

On Saturday, the former president announced that he was expecting to be arrested in connection with the case on Tuesday.

But Tuesday came and went without incident, and with no Wednesday hearing it is unclear when the jury might next consider issuing an indictment.

A spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to comment for the reason for the postponement. 

Grand jury proceedings are shrouded in secrecy making it difficult to follow their ups and downs.
