From Above The Law and Litera“As we said yesterday, the investigation remains ongoing. Susan Hoffinger, executive ADA of the Investigation Division, will lead the strong team that is in place,” Bragg’s spokeswoman, Danielle Filson, said.
CNN‘s sources say that Bragg may be leery of filing a case because of the difficulty of proving criminal intent. If only @jack hadn’t shut down that Twitter feed, that motor mouth would probably have just tweeted it out!

“They are not going to testify by March 10,” Trump’s attorney Ron Fischetti told Insider, promising to notice the appeal next week. “I don’t think anybody thought that they were going to testify by that date.”

Bad faith litigation is kind of their bag, baby.
In response, Attorney General James vows to continue her inquiry irrespective of the Trump family’s delay tactics.
“Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump were ordered by the court to comply with our lawful investigation into Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization’s financial dealings. While they have the right to seek a delay, they cannot deter us from following the facts and the law wherever they may lead,” she said on her agency’s website. “Make no mistake: My office will continue to pursue this case without fear or favor because no one is above the law.”
