Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are collaborating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team to investigate suspected money laundering by President Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, several people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office has its own ongoing investigation into Manafort and money laundering, and the special counsel team has communicated with Schneiderman, WSJ reports. Manafort has previously denied any wrongdoing, and his spokesman declined to comment to WSJ.
