Manhattan D.A. Assembles Grand Jury For Trump Organization Probe

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance has called a special grand jury in his Trump Organization probe.

The panel will decide whether to charge Trump Organization’s executives or the business  itself if criminal charges are presented.

Trump on Tuesday claimed that these recent investigations are just “witch hunts.”

“This is a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in American history. It began the day I came down the escalator in Trump Tower, and it’s never stopped,” Trump said in a statement.
