what we do know that the grand jury has been convened recently. now this reporting is coming from the washington post, quoting 2 separate sources in which it says that the jury has been in paneled for up to 3 months, sitting 3 days a week. now it's very important to note. one thing is that the grand jury may not be dealing only with a trump related issues or trump organization related issues. other matters may come before it, do it tween through the period of time. but legal experts say that's the fact that a grand jury has being convened in relation to the ongoing investigation into the trump organization, indicates that it has now moved on to a criminal charge basis. whether that is directed at donald trump, at his organization, or somebody close to him, that is not clear at this particular point in grand jury proceedings remain utterly confidential, utterly quiet. so the situation is that the moment what we do know is that the

new york state attorney general did announce last week that they had moved from a civil investigation into the trump organizations tax ceilings into a criminal one. we know to that, that all that investigation being conducted by the district attorney in new york is now working in alliance with the new york state attorney general. so things have been ramping up considerably in recent weeks. and now the information that a grand jury has been subpoenaed does indicate, according to many legal experts, that it is now criminal charges that are being contemplated. i must stress again, it is not known at this stage whether these are criminal charges against donald trump or whether it is against his organization or somebody close to donald trump. but very clearly, this investigation is now ratcheted up a significant amount, raising the real possibility of criminal charges at some stage being brought in
