New York prosecutors have demanded bank records of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort

New York prosecutors have demanded records relating to up to $16 million in loans that a bank run by a former campaign adviser for President Donald Trump made to former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The subpoena by the Manhattan district attorney’s office to the Federal Savings Bank, a small Chicago bank run by Steve Calk, sought information on loans the bank issued in November and January to Mr. Manafort and his wife, the person said. The loans were secured by two properties in New York and a condominium in Virginia, real-estate records show.

Asked about the subpoena Monday, Mr. Calk said he had no comment.

A spokesman for Mr. Manafort declined to comment.

This is great, it looks like New York prosecutors are wise to this type of shenanigan.

And I believe the presidential pardon does not apply state convictions

The nimrod banker, Calk, was really wanting to become the Secretary of the Army, so he made an iffy loan that sounds like 'pay to play', only instead of paying, he laundered money for Monafort?
