Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is examining Manafort's financial
and real estate records in New York as well as his involvement in
Ukrainian politics, the officials said.
Between
2006 and 2013, Manafort bought three New York properties, including one
in Trump Tower in Manhattan. He paid for them in full and later took
out mortgages against them. A former senior U.S. law enforcement
official said that tactic is often used as a means to hide the origin of
funds gained illegally. Reuters has no independent evidence that
Manafort did this.
