Federal investigators last month reportedly requested bank records of
former Trump campaign adviser Paul Manafort as a part of a widening
probe into potential Russian interference in the 2016 presidential
election.
The Department of Justice requested Manafort’s banking records from
Citizens Financial Group Inc. back in mid-April, the Wall Street Journal
reported on Friday. It is unclear if additional banks received similar
requests.
Manafort has not been accused of any wrong doing. He has agreed to testify before congressional committees involved.
This comes as pressure mounts on the FBI and Congress to find out if
Trump campaign associates colluded with Russia in any way that would
have interfered with the November elections.
On Wednesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed former
Trump National Security adviser Michael Flynn for papers related to the
investigation.
The FBI is also interested in Flynn’s potential role in any Russian interference.
Flynn was fired by President Trump after less than a month on the
job, after the White House said he misled Vice President Mike Pence and
other top officials about his communications with Russia’s ambassador to
the United States.
The New York officials are also looking into Manafort’s real-estate
and financial to see if there are any indications of money-laundering or
fraud.
In the mid-2000s, Manafort purchased at least 6 properties for more than $16 million.
This was right around the time he also started working as a political
advisor for pro-Russian politicians in the Ukraine, the Wall Street
Journal reported.
There were also reports in late March that raised questions about
accounts in a Cyprus bank that might have been used for money
laundering.
Through a spokesman, Manafort denies any wrong doing and said that
all of his real-estate transactions were “transparent” and that the
Cyprus accounts were related to “legitimate” work he had there.
