Mueller reportedly teams up with Schneiderman in Manafort probe

Special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly joined forces with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on the probe into Paul Manafort.

The investigative teams have been collaborating and discussing a potential case against Manafort, a former campaign manager for President Trump, according to Politico.

Manafort is accused of making shady financial transactions. The investigation is part of a sprawling probe into Trump’s presidential campaign and its possible links to Russia.

Trump, who pardoned Arizona’s controversial ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio last week, does not have pardon power involving state crimes.
