NEW YORK >> Manhattan prosecutors postponed a scheduled grand jury session Wednesday in the investigation into Donald Trump over hush money payments during his 2016 presidential campaign, at least temporarily slowing a decision on whether to charge the ex-president, according to four people.

The grand jurors were told to be on standby for today, another day when the New York panel has been meeting, three of the people said. When the grand jury next meets, it may hear from yet another witness, according to a person familiar with proceedings that appear to be nearing a decisive vote on whether or not to indict Trump.

The reason for the cancellation of Wednesday’s sessions was not immediately clear, though one person said it was not security-related.

The panel has been hearing from final witnesses, even as Trump himself has been railing against the investigation.
