Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on 16 charges, including mortgage fraud, filing false business documents and related conspiracies, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.
The state indictment came just moments after Manafort was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the District of Columbia to more than seven years in prison on federal charges.
“No one is beyond the law in New York,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement, calling the allegations against Manafort “criminal violations which strike at the heart of New York's sovereign interests, including the integrity of our residential mortgage market.”
