    He'll probably be up thinking about the pardon he has to give himself in Jan 2021.

    Trump fumes about Cuomo, New York A.G. over state investigations

    "Cuomo uses his Attorney General as a bludgeoning tool for his own purposes," Trump tweeted. "They sue on everything, always in search of a crime."

    Manafort to be arraigned Thursday in NYC on state charges

    (CNN)Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort will be arraigned Thursday afternoon in New York City on state fraud charges, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.

    He plans to plead not guilty and to fight the charges on the state's double jeopardy grounds, according to his defense lawyer, Todd Blanche.

    Manafort is currently in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, a federal prison.
    The arraignment places him in the public eye again after his case drew enormous attention during the special counsel's office probe. During the Russia investigation, Manafort was among the first people charged with crimes and he became a top target for prosecutors.

    After his conviction by a jury last summer in that investigation, he pleaded guilty and agreed to help special counsel Robert Mueller, only to then lie to investigators and a grand jury, a federal judge ruled, prompting the end of Manafort's cooperation.

    He was sentenced in March to seven-and-a-half years in prison for federal tax fraud, bank fraud and foreign lobbying violations.

    Less than an hour later, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance announced a 16-count criminal indictment charging Manafort with state crimes, including residential mortgage fraud and falsifying business records.

    The charges relate to mortgages Manafort received on properties in the New York area at a time when his foreign lobbying business was drying up. The state charges involve some of the same bank loans that led to his conviction by the federal jury last summer.

    If convicted in New York state, Manafort would be out of reach of a federal pardon. The President's pardon power applies only to federal crimes, such as the ones Manafort is currently in prison for.
