The FBI is investigating real-estate deals financed by Paul Manafort and his former son-in-law, The New York Times reports. Jeffrey Yohai, the ex-husband of Manafort’s daughter, and Manafort reportedly formed shell companies to buy luxury properties. Manafort, President Trump’s campaign manager who resigned amid reports of back-door financial transactions with Ukrainian and Russian clients, then invested millions of dollars into Yohai’s companies. Yohai was accused by his sister-in-law of “running a Ponzi scheme,” and he was sued by an investor last year over the same allegation. (Yohai denied the allegations in a court filing.)
