How's that again?
Quote:
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was indicted by a New York state grand jury on mortgage fraud charges Wednesday, immediately after being sentenced to more than 7 years in prison in D.C. federal court.
The case is being brought by Manhattan District Attorney, Cy Vance, Jr.
Manafort is charged with 16 separate counts in New York state, including mortgage fraud, conspiracy, and falsifying business records.
In a statement, Vance said that a grand jury investigation begun in March 2017 had “yielded serious criminal charges for which the defendant has not been held accountable.”
Speculation has mounted that Trump could pardon his former campaign chairman on the federal charges, and Vance had been looking at state charges as a way to thwart Trump’s pardon.
Manafort is expected to object to the state charges on double jeopardy grounds.
