“New York state prosecutors have put together a criminal case against Paul Manafort that they could file quickly if the former chairman of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign receives a presidential pardon,” Bloomberg reports.
“New York County District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is ready to file an array of tax and other charges against Manafort… something seen as an insurance policy should the president exercise his power to free the former aide. Skirting laws that protect defendants from being charged twice for the same offense has been one of Vance’s challenges.”
New York Times: “They resumed their investigation in recent months, and a state grand jury began hearing evidence in the case… The panel is expected to wrap up its work in the coming weeks and prosecutors likely will ask the grand jurors to vote on charges shortly thereafter.”
