Investigators for Special Counsel Robert Mueller have joined efforts with the New York State attorney general's office in its probe of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's business and real estate dealings, according to a person familiar with the matter.
CBS News' Pat Milton reports that prosecutors from the State attorney general's office and prosecutors from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan have worked together successfully in the past in white collar and corruption investigations.
One of the prosecutors from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan has joined Mueller's team, which is conducting the investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russian government entities, as well as any knowledge of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has been investigating Manafort's real estate holdings in New York.
Mueller, who is using a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. to help with his investigation, is particularly focused on Manafort's lobbying efforts between 2012 and 2014 for a pro-Russian Ukrainaian political party, and his offshore banking and financial dealings.
