The wheels of TV justice kept turning Wednesday despite a quiet morning in the grand jury probe of former President Trump.
Social media posts and photographers captured the cast and crew of “Law & Order: SVU” working near the Manhattan courthouse where the panel was pondering charges for Trump’s hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels after a sexual encounter.
One photo showed star Ice-T sitting on the outdoor set while looking at his phone, while another showed the rapper-turned actor flashing a peace sign as he walked through Foley Square.
The Trump indictment wait dragged on Wednesday, with few details emerging about the timing of his return to Manhattan to face potential criminal charges.
It remains unclear when Trump will make his New York homecoming in the prosecution and what the grand jury’s schedule will look like going forward.
The Daily News confirmed state Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan will handle the case if an indictment is returned. Merchan had previously presided over the trial of the Trump Organization and its former CFO, Allen Weisselberg.
And he was also assigned the fraud case against Steve Bannon relating to the “We Build the Wall” organization.
Trump, in a social media post, said the only crime in his case “would be if I get charged!!!” before denouncing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as a “rogue prosecutor” waging a political war against him.
The one-time Manhattan mogul, in conversations with advisers, insisted he wanted to be handcuffed and perp-walked once in custody to turn the arrest into a “spectacle” and statement of defiance, sources told The Guardian.
When the grand jury returns, they could hear testimony from additional witnesses or proceed directly to vote on a potential indictment.
The delayed decision came amidst a media horde outside the lower Manhattan courthouse awaiting word on Trump’s fate.
Heavy security was also in place on Fifth Ave. around Trump Tower, where the ex-president announced his improbable run for the White House on June 16, 2015.
