Former president Donald Trump has been invited to testify next week before a New York grand jury that has been investigating hush money payments made on his behalf during his 2016 presidential campaign, according to a news report. The New York Times cited "four people with knowledge of the matter" in reporting that the invitation was made by the Manhattan district attorney's office. Such an invitation often indicates a decision on indictments is near. The district attorney's office declined to comment.

Government auditor CAG on Tuesday pulled up the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) for incurring an avoidable expenditure of Rs 8.65 crore on account of improper planning in the acquisition of land, delay in the surrender of surplus land and payment charges. The Comptroller Auditor General of India (CAG) also said there were pending cases of execution of lease/title deeds in favour of CWC.
