The investigation by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York is being done in collaboration with special counsel Robert Mueller’s own probe into possible laundering by Manafort, according to the report.

Manafort’s spokesman declined to comment on the new probe to the newspaper.

Manafort was already facing both state and federal probes for money laundering. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) has also teamed up with Mueller to investigate Manafort.

The report of the new investigation comes after Trump reportedly interviewed at least two of the candidates for U.S. attorney positions in New York, including for the office that is overseeing the new Manafort probe.
