Former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort Faces Another Money-Laundering Probe

Manhattan U.S. attorney’s inquiry comes as President Donald Trump is weighing candidates to run the office

The Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office is pursuing an investigation into possible money laundering by Paul Manafort, said three people familiar with the matter, adding to the federal and state probes concerning the former Trump campaign chairman.

The continuing Manhattan U.S. attorney’s probe, which hasn’t been previously reported, is unfolding at the same time the Brooklyn U.S. attorney’s office pursues an inquiry involving Kushner Cos., owned by the family of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Mr. Trump has interviewed and is poised to nominate candidates to lead the prosecutorial offices in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. The probes could complicate the confirmation process, especially because Mr. Trump is considering individuals with ties to his personal lawyer and to a political ally.

The inquiry in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office is being conducted at least in part by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Monteleoni, previously a member of the money-laundering and asset-forfeiture unit, who joined the public-corruption team in recent months, according to people familiar with the matter.

The chief of the office’s public-corruption unit, Andrew Goldstein, was hired over the summer by Mr. Mueller to join his wide-ranging investigation of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. The president has said his aides did nothing wrong, and Russia has denied meddling in the campaign.

Mr. Mueller’s operation took over parts of the Manafort money-laundering probe after Mr. Goldstein arrived. But federal prosecutors in his former office have continued to pursue their investigation in conjunction with the special counsel’s team, the people familiar with the matter said.

The special counsel’s operation also has communicated with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office about the state’s own money-laundering probeconcerning Mr. Manafort.

In the Eastern District of New York, based in Brooklyn, federal prosecutors are probing Kushner Cos.,
the New York property-development business owned by the family of Mr. Kushner, a White House senior adviser, regarding its use of an investment-for-immigration program, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Kushner Cos. has been subpoenaed in that investigation, which involves the federal visa program known as EB-5.

The company’s general counsel, Emily Wolf, has said that “Kushner Cos. utilized the program, fully complied with its rules and regulations and did nothing improper. We are cooperating with legal requests for information.”

Mr. Kushner resigned from the business and sold his personal stake in some projects and assets to family members and others after last year’s election, but he retains a stake in at least one of the properties for which his family’s company used the EB-5 program, according to his most recent personal financial disclosure form.

The heads of the U.S. attorney’s offices in Manhattan and Brooklyn are two of the most powerful prosecutorial posts in the country, and Mr. Trump has personally interviewed candidates for both. He interviewed Edward McNally for the Brooklyn post and Geoffrey Berman for the Manhattan position, according to people familiar with the matter. :weebaynanimated:

The two candidates have already drawn scrutiny for their close ties to Mr. Trump’s allies. Mr. Berman is a law partner of Trump political ally Rudy Giuliani at Greenberg Traurig LLP. And Mr. McNally is a law partner of Mr. Trump’s personal attorney, Marc Kasowitz, at Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman LLP.:weebaynanimated:


Former Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who has clashed with Mr. Trump over his own firing earlier this year, has described Mr. Trump’s personal involvement in the process as “neither normal nor advisable.” :FuturamaFry:

White House spokeswoman Kelly Love said Mr. Trump “and other presidents before him and after may talk to individuals nominated to positions within the executive branch.”

Paul Rosenzweig, who was a deputy to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr during Mr. Starr’s investigation of President Bill Clinton, said the existence of the probes in the Manhattan and Brooklyn U.S. attorneys’ offices was cause for alarm due to “the president’s already demonstrated interest in trying to insert himself into decision-making in the Department of Justice.”

Nap posted about this long ago. :mjgrin:
I was confused by this being a breaking news story because it’s not news.

This has been known. The understood timeline is as follows:

The dossier author was sought out after by Republican primary opponents for opposition research. Once he won the primary, it was then hired by the DNC to continue that work. Eventually the dossier author supposedly thought he started to find things that were of national security importance, he contacted the FBI and was reached out to by John Mccain. FBI considered paying him for his work and scrapped that plan when Buzzfeed ended up publishing it in full and he had to go into hiding.

So in this timeline, this isn't news.

Nah, he is actually right. This isn't new. For folks who followed the story, it was already known the dossier was funded for a time by the DNC and Clinton campaign after it was dropped by the republicans who were looking to win against trump.
Just to be clear, this is old, and the main stream medias "breaking/bombshell" dance happening right now is bullshyt?:ld:Dare I say "fake news"?

When people say this is old, do they mean there were rumors before, but it's confirmed now?

I'm going to blow your mind further. I've personally have had a gripe with the NYTimes and WP for one thing and never had an opportune time to express it. I've noticed a trend for a while now where, outside of updated details, NYTimes and WP both basically republish stories as being "breaking" when they are not really NEW news stories. I wouldn't call that fake news as more sensationalist repackaging. I've been noticing they've done this for the past months.

Either they think that certain aspects of an earlier story didn't get enough eyes and attention as they feel it should have or they oversell maybe an update to an existing story as being "BREAKING".

Nah it was confirmed. In fact, I remember making the exact same post about the timeline as I did above in probably one of your threads or OP's thread. :ohhh:
