News Alert: Prosecutors investigating Trump tell witness to prepare for grand jury testimony

Manhattan prosecutors pursuing a criminal case against former President Donald Trump, his company and its executives have told at least one witness to prepare for grand jury testimony, according to a person familiar with the matter -- a signal that the lengthy investigation is moving into an advanced stage.

The development suggests that the Manhattan district attorney's office is poised to transition from collecting evidence to presenting what is likely a complex case to a grand jury, one that could result in the jury considering criminal charges.

The district attorney's office, led by Cyrus Vance Jr., has been investigating Trump, his real estate company and the company's executives on multiple fronts, including by examining the former President's tax returns, questioning perks the company gave employees and probing the manner in which the company accounted for reimbursements it made to Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen.
