The grand jury was last seen meeting at the courthouse on August 8, a week after the indictment was handed up against Trump. Smith said after the charges were announced that the investigation would continue, and the latest grand jury meeting is an indication it’s ongoing. The grand jury has been hearing evidence from Smith’s probe into 2020 election interference for almost a year. Smith’s grand jury in Washington, DC, is set to expire on September 15 but it can be extended. Meanwhile, Smith said in a court filing Tuesday that Trump has made “daily extrajudicial statements that threaten to prejudice the jury” in the 2020 election subversion case.
