Another investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign manager.
According to a new report, Donald Trump’s campaign manager is under investigation by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Bloomberg News reported Sunday that Manaforts real estate investments are the subject of the investigation.
The Bloomberg report noted, “The probe by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, one of the most outspoken critics of the president, is in a preliminary stage, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the investigation isn’t public. Manafort, who ran Trump’s campaign from April to August last year, has owned property in the Hamptons and Trump Tower in Manhattan.”
But the New York Attorney General isn’t the only one investigating Manafort, according to Bloomberg the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is also looking into Manafort.
The news of investigations by state and local officials in New Yorks comes on the heels of a report Friday in the Wall Street Journal that noted the Justice Department has requested Manafort’s financial records as part of its investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
