The new grand jury could eventually be asked to consider returning indictments. The Post reported the grand jury would meet three days a week for six months. The new grand jury is the latest sign of increasing momentum in the criminal investigation into the Republican ex-president and his company, the Trump Organisation.

Mr Vance’s investigation has appeared to focus in recent weeks on Mr Trump’s long-time finance chief Allen Weisselberg.
