NEW YORK (AP) New York prosecutors investigating former President Donald Trump s business dealings have convened a new grand jury to hear evidence in the probe as the previous panels term was set to run out, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press Thursday.

The development comes as the Manhattan district attorneys office is weighing whether to seek more indictments in a case that has already resulted in tax fraud charges against Trumps company, the Trump Organization, and its longtime CFO Allen Weisselberg.

Trump himself remains under investigation after District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. led a multiyear fight to get access to the Republicans tax records.

The person was not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity. The news of the new grand jury was first reported by The Washington Post .

The Manhattan DAs office declined comment. A message seeking comment was left with a Trump Organization lawyer.
