Special counsel Robert Mueller is teaming up with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, expanding the investigation into alleged ties between Russia and Donald Trump and his associates. Politico reports the investigation is centered around Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and has collected evidence on financial crimes, including potential money laundering. Schneiderman’s presence in the Russia probe raises the possibility that President Trump or his associates could be prosecuted for crimes in New York state. Unlike federal charges, the president cannot pardon people facing state charges.
