The former chairman of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, Manafort is charged by state prosecutors with 16 felony counts, including residential mortgage fraud and falsifying business records. He was one of the first people charged by the office of special counsel Robert Mueller, resulting in a conviction by a jury last summer in one case and Manafort's guilty plea in another case.
They involve some of the same loans that led to his conviction by a federal jury last summer.Though Manafort is already serving a lengthy sentence, the state case, which was brought moments after his sentencing in March, is potentially consequential for him because a conviction in state court would remain even if he were to receive a presidential pardon for his federal crimes. Such a pardon doesn't apply to state crimes.
No double jeopardy. S.Ct. upheld dual sovereignty last week.
Manafort is waiting on his promised pardon.
