New York state prosecutors appeal a judge's decision to toss mortgage fraud charges against fmr. Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.
, calling them a violation of New York's double jeopardy law, because Manafort had already been federally indicted earlier in 2019 for related crimes uncovered by former special counsel Robert Mueller.
On Thursday, the DA's office appealed the decision, arguing the charges brought at the state level center on different elements of the crimes that were prosecuted at the federal level. The DA's filing says the charges"contain different elements and were designed to prevent very different kinds of harm than the federal offenses of Bank Fraud and Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud."Manafort was convicted in March 2019 in two federal court cases for conspiracy, tax and bank fraud charges. Both cases came out of Mueller's investigation.
The longtime GOP operative is currently serving a seven-and-a-half year prison sentence after a jury convicted him in one federal case and he pleaded guilty in the other. He was transferred from prison to home confinement in May because of the COVID-19 pandemic.Tom Winter is a New York-based correspondent covering crime, courts, terrorism and financial fraud on the East Coast for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
