Back when Donald Trump pardoned Paul Manafort (along with several other former associates of the President) following his convictions on mortgage fraud and other financial irregularities, he was almost immediately back in legal trouble in New York State. Seeking to make sure that any and all Trump associates who had ever set foot in the Big Apple were “punished†as much as possible, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance charged Manafort with more than a dozen crimes covering the same offenses. But despite trying to draw a distinction between federal and state prosecutorial efforts, the courts weren’t buying it. After Vance lost a challenge by Manafort’s attorneys at the local level, the state Court of Appeals has now confirmed the lower court’s ruling and ended Vance’s efforts to put the Trump associate back behind bars.
