The Manhattan district attorney's office's criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump is winding down and Trump is unlikely to be charged, The New York Times reported.
Sources told the paper that several new developments suggest "that the former president will not be indicted in Manhattan in the foreseeable future — if at all."
At least three witnesses who were "once central" to the investigation have not heard from the DA's office or have not been called on to testify, The Times said. Other sources also noted that one prosecutor who played a key role in the investigation has since stopped focusing on Trump. And other prosecutors who are still working on the case are no longer using the "war room" they had built to prepare for their grand jury presentation in earlier months.
It's an anticlimactic development for the DA's investigation, which previously brought more than a dozen felony charges against the Trump Organization and its longtime chief bookkeeper Allen Weisselberg, including conspiracy, grand larceny, tax fraud, and falsifying business records.
People with inside knowledge told Insider's Laura Italiano earlier this month that no new charges are expected from the investigation, which has been ongoing for roughly three years.
The grand jury empaneled for the probe also expires at the end of the month.
A parallel case by New York Attorney General Letitia James is still in progress.

They'll get him next time LMAO
Another TDS vendetta falls apart…
So it ends as a failure just like EVERY OTHER TIME?
Now, lets bring in the conspiracy theories......
Triggered meters are peaking in liberal shit-holes all over the country.
Is that what that popping noise is?
It’s more of a low click but I suppose if enough low clicks happen at once, it might turn into a pop.
I guess you're right. Not enough up there to drown out snapping fingers.
Good points!
Wonder if the Clintons are pissed at losing their "Most investigated political family in the US" status. Trump has passed them on the fly in far shorter time. Trump is also beating Bill in impeachments 2 to 1; and may get another chance to add to that total.
Democrats should be forced to list the tax payer dollars wasted after each one of these "investigations". As well those that resigned, were fired, or will be removed at the next election.
And that amount of money taken from their bloated salaries.
All these witch hunts ever come up with is excuses, but they did accomplish their main objective which was to convince tens of millions of voters there was a crime (while simultaneously covering up for the Biden Crime Family). So they'll shelf this "Investigation" for now but only so they don't have to prove their allegations in court. We may not have heard the last of this though, they'll start beating this dead horse again in 2024 if Trump decides to run again. They needed to save something because they're running out of anti-Trump propaganda that hasn't been totally disproved.
And you'll note how many have jumped in to lambast the investigation from the Dem/Lib roles.
A week ago? I just noticed it. The left left this hot rock alone - they must be crying if they can’t stop Greene or Trump.
