Prosecutors say New York Manafort case isn’t double jeopardy

NEW YORK (AP) — State prosecutors in New York City asked a judge Wednesday to reject claims by the defense team for twice-convicted Paul Manafort that their mortgage fraud case is double jeopardy.
In court papers filed in Manhattan, the prosecutors said that the case against the former campaign chairman for President Donald Trump is based on allegations that were never resolved in a 2018 federal trial in Virginia. Jurors found Manafort guilty of eight counts of tax- and bank-fraud charges
