大陪审团继续权衡对前总统唐纳德·特朗普的指控，该指控与曼哈顿地区检察官对2016年向成人电影女演员斯托米·丹尼尔斯支付封口费的调查有关。
没有任何现任或前任总统因犯罪行为被起诉。
《国家询问报》前出版人被发现离开大律师事务所
《国家询问者》的前出版人大卫·派克，周一被看到和他的律师一起离开曼哈顿地区检察官办公室。
知情人士告诉ABC新闻，佩克在大陪审团面前作证了大约一个小时。
据称在2016年大选前帮助安排向斯托米·丹尼尔斯付款的派克，之前和大陪审团谈过一月份。
地区检察官办公室可能已经打电话给佩克，以支持迈克尔·科恩早些时候关于付款目的的证词。
曼哈顿大陪审团预计周一再次开庭
消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，预计曼哈顿大陪审团将于周一重新召集对前总统唐纳德·特朗普的指控。
大陪审团可能会在周一听取另一名证人的证词。
共和党监督主席为参与纽约特朗普调查辩护
众议院监督委员会(House Oversight Committee)主席詹姆斯·卡莫(James Comer)周日为让国会介入曼哈顿地区检察官对唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的调查进行了辩护，他利用自己的职位要求检察官阿尔文·布拉格(Alvin Bragg)做出回答。
“如果布拉格先生想进来向我们解释他在做什么，他做了很好的解释，他提出了很好的论点，我们看到我们在一个不属于我们的领域，比如共和党人-一些共和党参议员-说，那么我们将后退，”卡莫，R-Ky。,在CNN上说。但是，他补充说，“如果唐纳德·特朗普不竞选总统，我不相信布拉格会这样做，这也是我们想问布拉格先生的问题。”
在CNN主持人杰克·塔珀(Jake Tapper)的推动下，他说布拉格正在调查潜在的违反州政府而不是联邦政府的罪行，卡莫说，“这是关于政治的。这是一个总统候选人。”
卡莫坚持说，如果调查是由司法部而不是地方检察官进行的，他会更容易接受，尽管他后来说他希望所有的“干预”都结束。

2023年3月8日，DC华盛顿，众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·卡莫在国会山发表讲话。
布拉格的办公室已经发出信号，他们可能正在接近一个指控的决定-例如伪造商业记录，消息人士说-关于川普付给成人电影女演员斯托米·丹尼尔斯的13万美元在2016年选举期间，为了防止她公开恋情。
特朗普否认所有不当行为，包括与丹尼尔斯的关系。
他谎称自己会在上周被捕，并呼吁抗议。
共和党人敦促阿尔文·布拉格满足他们对文件、证词
在周六的一封新信中，三个强大的众议院委员会的共和党领导人回应了曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格(Alvin Bragg)的拒绝，他拒绝了他们要求提供与特朗普调查有关的文件和证词的请求。
众议员吉姆·乔丹、詹姆斯·卡莫和布赖恩·斯泰尔在辩论中8页的信他们要求这种材料是有立法目的的。
布拉格的办公室在3月20日驳回了主席最初的请求，称它“不会被破坏司法程序的企图吓倒。”
布拉格的法律总顾问莱斯利·杜贝克回应说，这是“对纽约主权的非法侵犯”
在周六的一份新声明中，布拉格的办公室表示，“国会干涉当地悬而未决的调查是不合适的。”
他的办公室表示:“联邦民选官员对一个正在进行的问题进行前所未有的调查，只会阻碍、干扰和破坏我们敬业的检察官的合法工作。”

GOP oversight chair defends getting involved in NY Trump probe
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Sunday defended taking the escalatory step of getting Congress involved in the Manhattan district attorney's investigation of Donald Trump by using his position to request answers from the prosecutor, Alvin Bragg.
"If Mr. Bragg wants to come in and explain to us what he what he's doing, and he makes a good explanation, he makes a good argument and we see that we're in an area where we shouldn't belong, such as the Republicans -- some of the Republican senators -- say, then we will back off," Comer, R-Ky.,said on CNN. But, he added, "I don't believe that Bragg would be doing this if Donald Trump were not running for president, and that's something that we would like to ask Mr. Bragg as well."
Pushed by CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who said Bragg is investigating potential violations of state and not federal crimes, Comer said, "This is about politics. This is a presidential candidate."
Comer insisted that he would be more accepting of the investigation if it was being brought by the Department of Justice rather than a local district attorney, though he later said he wanted all "meddling" to end.
Bragg's office has signaled that they may be moving closer to a charging decision -- such as for falsifying business records, sources have said --in relation to $130,000 that Trump paid the adult film actress Stormy Danielsduring the 2016 election in order to prevent her from going public with an affair claim.
Trump denies all wrongdoing, including a relationship with Daniels.
He falsely said that he would be arrested last week and has urged protests.
Republicans urge Alvin Bragg to comply with their request for documents, testimony
In a new letter Saturday, the Republican leaders of three powerful House committees responded to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's rebuff of their request for documents and testimony related to the Trump probe.
Reps. Jim Jordan, James Comer and Brian Steil argued in the8-page letterthey have legislative purpose for demanding such material.
Bragg's office pushed back against the chairmen's original request on March 20, stating it would "not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process."
Leslie Dubeck, Bragg’s general counsel, responded that it was "an unlawful incursion into New York's sovereignty."
In a new statement Saturday, Bragg's office said it is "not appropriate for Congress to interfere with pending local investigations."
"This unprecedented inquiry by federal elected officials into an ongoing matter serves only to hinder, disrupt and undermine the legitimate work of our dedicated prosecutors," his office said.
