Manafort pleads not guilty to state fraud charges in New York
By Morgan Chalfant - 06/27/19 02:49 PM EDT

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has pleaded not guilty to state fraud charges in New York.

Manafort, a key figure in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, entered his plea during an arraignment Thursday in Manhattan, according to multiple reports.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance announced the indictment on March 13 — the same day that Manafort was sentenced in Washington, D.C., to the second of two prison terms for crimes uncovered in the course of Mueller’s investigation.

A grand jury in Manhattan returned a 16-count indictment charging Manafort with residential mortgage fraud, falsifying business records and other crimes.

When Paul Manafort arrived at court in New York on Thursday, his appearance was dramatically different than the last time he was photographed in public.

The 70-year-old’s hair had turned gray after months of not using hair dye, and he walked with a limp into the Manhattan courtroom. His mugshot and sketches from his previous court appearances indicated a graying Manafort, but Thursday was the first time he had been on camera in months.
